This House resolution recognizes the 25th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. It states that 19 terrorists hijacked 4 commercial aircraft and that 2,977 innocent victims died. The resolution honors those who died and thanks first responders, including 343 firefighters, 72 law enforcement officers, 8 emergency medical technicians and paramedics, and 55 members of the Armed Forces at the Pentagon. It honors the passengers and crew of United Airlines Flight 93 for their actions. The resolution notes the spread of toxic dust and debris in Lower Manhattan and Brooklyn and says many people still have serious physical and emotional illnesses related to the attacks. It recalls that Congress passed the James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act (Public Law 111-347) in 2011, which created the World Trade Center Health Program and reopened the 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund. It notes Congress extended the World Trade Center Health Program in 2016 and the Victim Compensation Program in 2019 until 2090 and that in 2026 Congress enacted legislation to strengthen the long-term financial stability of the World Trade Center Health Program. The resolution honors charities, nonprofits, labor and faith-based organizations that support survivors and families, encourages people to observe the anniversary with appropriate ceremonies, and reaffirms a commitment to never forget.
