                     WE REMEMBER SEPTEMBER 11, 2001

  (Mr. YODER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. YODER. Mr. Speaker, today we pause to remember and reflect upon 
the heartbreaking attacks our Nation suffered on the morning of 
September 11, 2001.
  We remember the lives lost at the World Trade Center, at the 
Pentagon, and the passengers on hijacked planes.
  We remember the bravery of all the first responders who charged 
towards the flames and smoke to help their fellow Americans reach 
safety.
  We remember the courageous service of the brave men and women in our 
Armed Forces and their families as they rose to the moment, responding 
with force to the cowardly attacks suffered by our great Nation.
  We remember a proud and strong United States of America, torn apart 
by terror attacks, but united by unyielding and unbending resolve.
  Today we honor the determination of our Nation, which rose from the 
rubble to rebuild not just buildings, but our American spirit.
  Mr. Speaker, on today's anniversary, we remember to honor the 
legacies of those we lost that day. We remember the best of the 
American patriotism and unity in the moments and days immediately 
after. And we remember to always keep our servicemen and -women in our 
best thoughts and prayers.

  God bless the United States of America.
