Jeff Bingaman United States Senator from New Mexico

WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Jeff Bingaman today issued the following statement:

"For those who lost a loved one on 9/11, the memory of that day will always be with them.  On this tenth anniversary of 9/11, all Americans must take the time to remember the nearly 3,000 Americans who lost their lives in that heinous attack on our country.  And we should also take this opportunity to express our gratitude for the men and women who have served – and continue to serve – in our nation's Armed Forces.

"We experienced a tremendous amount of loss on 9/11 and in the decade since.  But we have also demonstrated amazing resilience.  As we reflect on the ten years since the 9/11 attacks, I hope that we will continue to learn from our experiences of that day, and in the years since that day, and use them to strengthen our country and our freedoms.
