 COMMEMORATING THE 23RD ANNIVERSARY OF THE SEPTEMBER 11 ATTACKS ON THE 
                             UNITED STATES

  (Mr. KEAN of New Jersey asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute.)
  Mr. KEAN of New Jersey. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to commemorate the 
23rd anniversary of the September 11 attacks on the United States, a 
day where the lives of 2,977 Americans, 750 of whom were New Jerseyans, 
were lost.
  After the worst attack in our Nation's history, we came together as 
Americans, and we showed the entire world our resilience.
  Today, we mourn the lives lost in the Twin Towers and the buildings 
nearby, the Pentagon, and in the field in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, on 
Flight 93. We commemorate the sacrifice of thousands of first 
responders who rushed into the face of danger. We honor the passengers 
of the hijacked flights.
  We remember those who were lost and help those today who survived and 
who are now dealing with illnesses from that day. We recognize the 
resilience of our families, our communities, and our Nation.

  Today, I will remember and keep alive the call to never forget.
