Congresswoman Kosmas on the 9th anniversary of September 11th attacks: 'We must never compromise'

Today, in remembrance of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, Congresswoman Suzanne Kosmas, D-New Smyrna Beach (FL-24), issued the following statement:

"As we remember the tragic events that took place nine years ago today, my thoughts and prayers go out to the victims of 9/11 and their families, our first responders and rescue workers, and to our brave men and women in uniform.

"While our steadfast belief in freedom, equality and opportunity has made us the target of extremists, we must never compromise the ideals that are the foundation of America's greatness.

"The events of September 11th represent a tragedy beyond comprehension, but because of the strength of our shared commitment to freedom, this adversity has only strengthened our nation's belief in the values that make us the greatest country on Earth."
