          23rd Anniversary of the September 11, 2001, Attacks

  Mrs. CAPITO. Madam President, as the Presiding Officer knows, today 
marks 23 years since the 9/11 terrorist attacks on our Nation.
  Although we are now over two decades removed from one of the greatest 
tragedies in our Nation's history, the memories remain in our minds as 
if it had just happened yesterday. Those horrific events in New York 
City, Washington, DC, and Shanksville, PA, forever changed national 
security in the United States of America. It also changed many of our 
families, our fellow Americans' families. Our Nation banded together--
we supported one another, and we rebuilt and recovered--but we will 
never forget.
  Many of us were here on that day. I was here in Washington, DC, in my 
office building on the House side. I certainly will never forget that 
awful and tragic day.
