                     SEPTEMBER 11TH--11 YEARS LATER

  (Mr. PAULSEN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. PAULSEN. Madam Speaker, we will never forget where we were on 
that fateful day 11 years ago on September 11. The images of two giants 
falling towards Earth will not only be remembered by those who lived 
through it, but will also be reborn anew with each generation of 
Americans through images of terror and countless stories of courage and 
sacrifice.
  Today we come together to remember those who lost their lives on 
September 11 in New York City, at the Pentagon, and as part of Flight 
93, and to reflect on more than a decade of a struggle to ensure future 
generations live free from terror.
  We must also pay special tribute to our first responders and to those 
who have, since 9/11, donned the uniform of our Armed Forces and placed 
their own lives on the line to defend our country, and to the more than 
6,500 who have paid the ultimate sacrifice.
  So let us continue to keep those who've lost their loved ones in our 
hearts and prayers, and may we never forget September 11.
