                    WAR FROM TERROR IS FAR FROM OVER

  (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, 12 years ago, our Nation 
was attacked by jihadists who sought to destroy our freedoms. Today, we 
remember the nearly 3,000 innocent Americans who lost their lives in 
New York, Washington, and Shanksville. We also pay tribute to those who 
have successfully fought in Afghanistan and Iraq to keep us safe by 
defeating terrorists overseas.
  Last year, terrorists murdered Ambassador Chris Stevens along with 
three additional brave Americans at our consulate at Benghazi, Libya. 
Their efforts to promote democracy will never be forgotten.
  We should recognize the war on terrorism is far from over. Conflict 
continues across the world.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget 
September the 11th, 2001, and September the 11th, 2012, at Benghazi in 
the global war on terrorism.
  Todd Beamer was correct: ``Let's roll.''
