Alaskan Congressman Don Young released the following statement today in remembrance of the attacks 11 years ago today:
“Today is a day not only to remember the lives lost 11 years ago, but also a day to thank our first responders – including the brave police officers and firefighters who risked their lives that day. With troops serving in harm’s way across the globe – including many Alaskans – it’s crucially important for the American people to continue to support our soldiers and their families. I am a firm believer that we are the greatest nation in the world due to the extraordinary work of our military men and women. I urge all Alaskans to honor those who lost their lives 11 years ago today – and also say a prayer for our men and women who continue to fight to protect our freedoms.”
To commemorate 9/11, Congressman Young participated in the United Service Organizations’ (USO) “Operation USO Care Package Program” today. To view pictures of Rep. Young assembling care packages for our troops, click here.
