                         CONCURRENT RESOLUTION

 
Recognizing the 25th anniversary of the terrorist attacks of September 
 11, 2001, honoring the memory of the victims, recognizing the courage 
      and sacrifice of the heroes who answered the call to serve, 
  acknowledging the charitable organizations that continue to support 
     survivors and victims' families, and reaffirming the enduring 
  commitment of the United States to defend freedom and never forget.

Whereas, on September 11, 2001, 19 terrorists affiliated with al-Qaeda hijacked 
        four commercial aircraft and carried out coordinated attacks against the 
        United States, resulting in the deaths of 2,977 innocent victims, 
        excluding the terrorists, making September 11 the deadliest terrorist 
        attack in the history of the United States;
Whereas nearly every American remembers where they were on that tragic day, when 
        the Nation came under attack and innocent lives were forever changed;
Whereas among those who made the ultimate sacrifice were 343 firefighters of the 
        Fire Department of the City of New York, 72 law enforcement officers, 8 
        emergency medical technicians and paramedics, and 55 members of the 
        Armed Forces at the Pentagon, who courageously rushed toward danger in 
        an effort to save the lives of others;
Whereas the passengers and crew of United Airlines Flight 93 demonstrated 
        extraordinary courage by confronting the terrorists, sacrificing their 
        own lives, and preventing an attack on another intended target;
Whereas countless firefighters, police officers, emergency medical personnel, 
        construction workers, medical professionals, search and rescue teams, 
        members of the Armed Forces, intelligence professionals, and volunteers 
        risked their lives in the rescue, recovery, and relief efforts following 
        the attacks;
Whereas the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, led thousands of Americans 
        to answer the call to military service, and many members of the Armed 
        Forces made the ultimate sacrifice in defense of the United States 
        during the Global War on Terror;
Whereas thousands of survivors, first responders, recovery workers, military 
        veterans, and the families of those lost continue to bear the physical, 
        emotional, and psychological effects of the attacks and their aftermath;
Whereas the American people responded to unimaginable tragedy with extraordinary 
        courage, compassion, resilience, and unity, demonstrating the enduring 
        strength of the Nation;
Whereas for 25 years charitable organizations, nonprofit foundations, faith-
        based organizations, and community groups have faithfully served 
        survivors, the families of those who perished, first responders, 
        veterans, and Gold Star families by providing financial assistance, 
        housing, medical care, counseling, educational scholarships, adaptive 
        homes, memorial programs, and long-term support;
Whereas countless national and local organizations have preserved the memory of 
        those lost while ensuring that survivors, first responders, military 
        families, and victims' loved ones are never forgotten;
Whereas the selfless work of these organizations reflects the highest ideals of 
        the American people by transforming remembrance into lasting acts of 
        service;
Whereas the 25th anniversary of September 11 provides an opportunity to remember 
        those who perished, honor those who served, comfort those who continue 
        to grieve, and recommit ourselves to defending the freedoms that unite 
        us as Americans; and
Whereas future generations must be taught the history and lessons of September 
        11, 2001, so that the courage, sacrifice, resilience, and unity 
        displayed on that day will never be forgotten: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), 
That Congress--
            (1) recognizes the 25th anniversary of the terrorist 
        attacks of September 11, 2001;
            (2) honors the memory of the 2,977 innocent victims who 
        lost their lives in New York, at the Pentagon, and in 
        Shanksville, Pennsylvania;
            (3) expresses its deepest gratitude to the firefighters, 
        law enforcement officers, emergency medical personnel, members 
        of the Armed Forces, intelligence professionals, volunteers, 
        and all those who courageously responded to the attacks and 
        their aftermath;
            (4) honors the passengers and crew of United Airlines 
        Flight 93 for their extraordinary heroism and selfless 
        sacrifice;
            (5) recognizes the service and sacrifice of the members of 
        the United States Armed Forces, veterans, Gold Star families, 
        and all those who defended the Nation in the years following 
        September 11, 2001;
            (6) recognizes the invaluable work of charitable 
        organizations, nonprofit foundations, and community groups that 
        continue to care for survivors, first responders, veterans, and 
        the families of the victims while preserving the memory of 
        those lost;
            (7) encourages all Americans to observe the 25th 
        anniversary of September 11 through remembrance, acts of 
        service, moments of reflection, and renewed appreciation for 
        the blessings of liberty and the sacrifices made to preserve 
        it; and
            (8) reaffirms the unwavering commitment of the United 
        States to defend the Nation against terrorism, uphold the 
        principles of freedom and democracy, and ensure that the 
        victims and heroes of September 11, 2001, are never forgotten.
