                       COMMEMORATING SEPTEMBER 11

  (Mr. PRICE of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. PRICE of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, yesterday we came together to 
remember the day that will define our generation. September 11 was a 
day that forever changed the way we look at the world.
  We learned about the amazing strength and character of the American 
people. During the events of that day, we saw astonishing courage and 
the very measure of the American spirit that our enemy had sought to 
destroy. We also learned that day there was a great evil out in the 
world that wished to see our collapse. Their intent was not only to 
kill thousands of innocent civilians, but also to strike fear in the 
hearts of all Americans. These ruthless murderers thought they could 
break us, but they underestimated the will of the American people.
  The morning that war was brought to our soil, we stood up as one 
proud Nation and declared that we will not allow those that use tools 
of terror and death to change who we are as Americans.
  Mr. Speaker, 5 years later we remain steadfastly committed to our 
battle against an enemy who wishes to use terror to destroy democracy 
and freedom.
  May God continue to richly bless the United States of America.
