                      REMEMBERING THE 9/11 ATTACKS

  (Mr. FITZPATRICK asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. FITZPATRICK. Mr. Speaker, tomorrow our Nation will mark the 11th 
anniversary of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. At 
community gatherings across the country, neighbors will come together 
to honor the memory of those lost in New York, Pennsylvania, and our 
Nation's capital, including a ceremony in Bucks County at the 9/11 
Garden of Reflection, the official Pennsylvania memorial to the victims 
of the September 11 attacks.
  As I stand before you this evening, I'm reminded of the President's 
address to the Nation the evening of the attacks. In his remarks to the 
Nation, the President said that:

       Terrorist attacks can shake the foundations of our biggest 
     buildings, but they cannot touch the foundation of America. 
     These acts shatter steel, but they cannot dent the steel of 
     American resolve.

  Eleven years later, our resolve has never been stronger, and we 
continue to honor the memory of those tragically lost that day.
