Capito Statement on 20th Anniversary of 9/11 Terrorist Attacks

Statement

U.S. Senator Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.) today released the below statement and video address ahead of the 20th anniversary of the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001.

"Even though it's been 20 years since we watched, horrified, as smoke billowed from the Twin Towers, the Pentagon, and a crashed plane in a Pennsylvania field, the memories are no less painful. Today, we remember the thousands of Americans--innocent men and women--first responders, and military members--who lost their lives in the face of pure evil on September 11, 2001. I encourage all West Virginians to take a moment to pray for the victims and their families, for everyone who faced unimaginable loss that September morning, and for those who carry their grief with them to this day. Today provides us an opportunity to not only reflect on the incredible resilience and unity our great nation displayed in the hours, days, and years following the attacks, but to ensure that same American spirit continues to live on."
