Sen. Dodd Comments on 9/11 Anniversary

SACRAMENTO – Sen. Bill Dodd, D-Napa, issued the following statement today on the upcoming 20th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks that killed nearly 3,000 people and plunged the United States into war.

“Twenty years later, the painful memories of this life-changing attack on American soil remain crystal clear for many, while an entire generation has grown up since,” Sen. Dodd said. “It’s a day to remember, but also a day to learn and educate, and to commit ourselves to embodying the best of the American spirit. We mourn the victims and the courageous first-responders who gave their lives to save others, and we stand with their families. We reflect on these terrible losses but also the resiliency of the human spirit and how Americans can come together.”
