Washington, D.C. – U.S. Senator Deb Fischer (R-Neb.) released the following statement ahead of tomorrow’s 9/11 and Benghazi anniversaries:

“Once again we honor the memory of the victims of terrorism on 9/11. The passage of 13 years has not lessened our pain or diminished our resolve. Images of destruction in our cities and a quiet Pennsylvania field are seared into our national memory. As the United States now faces a resurgent global terror threat, we must recommit ourselves to eliminating those who wish to destroy our way of life and the freedoms we hold so dear.

 “We also mark the anniversary of the terrorist attack on our consulate in Benghazi, where four Americans, including our U.S. ambassador, were tragically killed. We have not forgotten.

 “As we reflect on the memory of those lost, let us also honor those who have served in defense of freedom in the years since the 2001 attacks. We salute their service and we pray for the fallen and their families.”
