                  REMEMBERING AND HONORING 9/11 HEROES

  (Mr. KEAN of New Jersey asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. KEAN of New Jersey. Mr. Speaker, on September 11, 2001, our 
Nation endured an unspeakable tragedy, and New Jersey carried a deep 
share of that loss. Thousands of our neighbors left home for work that 
morning and never returned.
  Today, 24 years later, we honor those we lost, the first responders, 
the everyday citizens who became heroes, and the families who continue 
to carry this grief.
  We also recognize the tens of thousands who still suffer from cancer 
and other illnesses caused by that day's attacks and its aftermath. 
Their sacrifice and their strength remind us of the very best of 
America--our resilience, our compassion, and our unity.
  We remember each and every one of them, and each generation will 
ensure that they are never forgotten. May God bless their memory, their 
families, and may God bless the United States of America.
