Today marks 25 years since the 9/11 terrorist attacks.   For Chairman @RepBost and many of the veteran members who serve on our Committee, this day is deeply personal.   For many of them — like so many veterans — the events on 9/11 changed the course of their life as they ran towards danger, defended our American way of life, and served overseas in the years that followed.   We will never forget the 2,977 everyday Americans who lost their lives in New York, Virginia, and Pennsylvania on this tragic day.   There is an inscription on the National 9/11 Memorial Museum in New York City that reads, "No day shall erase you from the memory of time."   25 years later — we proudly uphold that promise.   The steel of American resolve will continue to honor, remember, and tell the stories of those Americans — and the thousands of service men and women who gave their lives in the years that followed.   We will #NeverForget. 🇺🇸

“At first glance, these proposals may seem very different. But they are all rooted in the same principle. When a man or woman serves this country, America makes a promise. Today's bills are about keeping that promise.” — @RepLuttrell at today's legislative hearing ⬇️

As #PTSDAwareness month comes to a close, we remember that the invisible wounds of war are real and that help – inside and outside VA – is available. PTSD is treatable. Reach out. Ask for help. We have your back and we need you here.

250 years of service to protect life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. 🇺🇸
