SANGER, CA – Senator Melissa Hurtado (D-Sanger) released the following statement today, regarding the twentieth anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks:
“On this day twenty years ago, we saw our country experience its greatest tragedy but also our brightest beacon,” said Senator Hurtado. “Our Nation joined together as one to mourn and collectively hold our breath. We cheered and honored our heroes—those fire, police and EMT personnel who ran towards danger. We hugged and loved our families and our neighbors. As we remember the 2,977 people we lost that fateful day, we must work to bring back our sense of togetherness, and put aside our differences.”
