                    14TH ANNIVERSARY OF SEPTEMBER 11

  (Mr. VEASEY asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. VEASEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the anniversary of the 
September 11 attacks. Fourteen years ago, our Nation faced an 
unparalleled tragedy that forever changed us.
  Today our thoughts and prayers remain with the victims that perished 
in these attacks in New York City, Washington, D.C., and Pennsylvania 
on September 11. We mourn with the families of the victims and continue 
to thank the selfless first responders who rushed to aid those in 
danger, even if it meant risking their own lives.
  As we remember the lives that were lost that day, we must also 
commemorate the brave men and women of our armed services who have lost 
their lives trying to protect us from the dangers we still face today.
  Today we must stand as more than just Democrats and Republicans but, 
rather, together, as Americans, who will work to ensure that our Nation 
never faces an attack like that ever again.
