Rep. Louie Gohmert (TX-01) released the following statement today in remembrance of the thousands of Americans who were killed in the horrific terror attack on September 11, 2001:
“Today marks the 15th anniversary of the 9-11 terrorist attack, the most heinous attack our homeland has ever suffered, in which completely innocent people living, working and enjoying America were murdered in a cold-blooded, pre-meditated act of war by evil, sadistic, radical Islamists who want to destroy us, our freedoms, and our way of life. All of America was devastated and mourned the loss of wives, husbands, mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, aunts, uncles, children, and friends.
Yet on September 12th, and out of the wanton and despicable evil that brought about 9-11, came a unity, a caring, a oneness as a nation that we have not had to that extent since the end of 2001. We came together, not as individuals, but as one nation under God. We came together with such unity on 9-12 that there were no Euro-Americans, no African-Americans, no Chinese-Americans, no Hispanic-Americans, no Asian-Americans, nor any other hyphenated Americans. On 9-12-2001, we were all AMERICANS, and should be again, That kind of unity, in fact, would be the greatest memorial we could create for our fallen brothers and sisters from that day of horror and evil.
May God grant us the oneness and unity we had on 9-12 as, once again, “one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.”
Congressman Gohmert is the Chairman of the Natural Resources Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations and the Vice Chair of the Judiciary Subcommittee on Crime, Terrorism and Homeland Security. Prior to being elected to serve in Congress, he was elected to three terms as District Judge in Smith County, Texas and was appointed by then Texas Governor Rick Perry to complete a term as Chief Justice of the 12th Court of Appeals.
