Yesterday was the 17th anniversary of 9/11. It was a harrowing day that should never be forgotten and a good reminder of how far this nation has come since that devastating day. Here is how the members of Alabama’s delegation chose to commemorate the day:
17 years ago today, our country was shaken by the #Sept11 attacks — but in the aftermath, we grew stronger. Today we honor and remember those who lost their lives in NYC, at the Pentagon, and in Shanksville. We will #NeverForget them or this day.
