     NEVER FORGET SEPTEMBER THE 11TH IN THE GLOBAL WAR ON TERRORISM

  (Mr. WILSON of South Carolina asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Mr. Speaker, 10 years ago, in one of 
the most tragic moments of our country's history, terrorists hijacked 
commercial jetliners to murder nearly 3,000 innocent people on American 
soil. In this darkest hour, the people of our Nation came together to 
grieve, mourn, and remind each other: We are still one Nation, under 
God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
  On this 10th anniversary of the September 11th attacks, I want to 
highlight how America's resolve that day was challenged but not broken. 
In the time since, our Nation has proven the resilience of the American 
people. The struggle to protect freedom and liberty is one that must be 
promoted both domestically and internationally--and our great Nation 
has answered the call.
  Let us remember the first responders and our military that have 
served and are currently serving near and far to protect our freedoms 
here at home. I will always be grateful for those making a difference 
by defeating terrorists overseas to protect American families at home.
  Most importantly, let us not forget the victims of the September 11th 
attacks, their families, the memories of that fateful day, and the 
constant challenges our country faces in winning the global war on 
terrorism.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget 
September the 11th in the global war on terrorism.
