Kelly visits Shanksville, issues statement on 25th anniversary of September 11 attacks

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Today, on the 25th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States of America, U.S. Rep. Mike Kelly (R-PA) released the following statement:

"Today, as we mark the 25th anniversary of the September 11th attacks, I encourage everyone to take a moment to pause, honor, and reflect on the events and lives lost on that day in 2001. Now, a quarter century later, it is incumbent upon the American people to once again condemn the hate-filled acts of that day orchestrated by radical Islamic terrorists who sought to cause harm to the greatest, freest, and most generous country the world has ever known. In our nation’s darkest hours, the American people always find a light and overcome their biggest challenges. It’s who we are, and who we will continue to be. May God Bless America. We will never forget," said Rep. Kelly.

To commemorate the 25th anniversary, Rep. Kelly visited the Flight 93 Memorial in Shanksville, Pa. on Friday.

Kelly also co-sponsored a House Resolution to mark the 25th anniversary. You can find bill text here.
