WASHINGTON—The Heritage Foundation released the following statement from Rob Greenway, director of the Allison Center for National Security, in remembrance of the terrorist attacks on the United States on Sept. 11, 2001: 
 

“Twenty-four years ago today, 2,977 innocent lives were lost in the attacks on the World Trade Center in New York City, the Pentagon, and aboard Flight 93 in Shanksville, Pennsylvania.

 

“In the hours and days that followed the attacks, we witnessed the very best of humanity. First responders rushed toward danger to save others, and our armed forces, and those of our partners and allies, sought those responsible.

 

“May we continue to honor the memory of those lost, the defense of our nation, and the pursuit of justice for those responsible.”
