Today, Congressman Bob Latta (OH-5) released the following statement on the 24th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks that took place in New York, Virginia, and Pennsylvania: 

“Today marks 24 years since the September 11th terrorist attacks that changed our nation forever. On that morning, 2,977 innocent lives were taken, and countless families were left with heartbreak, and every American reeled in communal pain. We remember the bravery of the first responders who ran toward dangers when others were fleeing, and the courage of Americans who died as heroes aboard Flight 93. Their sacrifice and selflessness will never be forgotten. Nearly a quarter century later, the memories of that day are still vivid for those who lived through it. We remember where we were, how we felt, and how in the days that followed, Americans came together with strength and unity in the face of evil. As we honor those we lost 24 years ago today, let us keep their families in our prayers, express gratitude to the men and women who continue to defend our freedoms, and remember what it means to be American. We will never forget.”
