CASTRO STATEMENT ON THE ANNIVERSARY OF SEPTEMBER 11, 2001

San Antonio, TX – Today, Congressman Joaquin Castro (TX-20) released the following statement commemorating the 15th anniversary of September 11, 2001: 
 
“Today we mark a solemn date that forever changed our world. The terror that struck our nation 15 years ago shook us to our core, but it also strengthened our resolve to protect and spread the democratic values we hold so dear. Our hearts may have broken for the souls we lost, but our spirit will never falter. The freedom, liberty, joy, and love we share here in the United States are our greatest antidotes to the cowardly evil that wishes us harm. I pray for all who feel pain on this tragic day, and extend my gratitude to the selfless heroes who saved so many and inspired our nation.”
