Washington, D.C. - Rep. Bruce Braley (IA-01) today released the following statement in honor of the 13th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States.

"It is clear that the breadth and scope of the unconscionable acts of terror visited upon the United States thirteen years ago remain impossible to measure. The effect is most profound on those who lost loved ones that day?or those who subsequently lost a loved ones during our military missions to combat terrorist threats across the globe?and my thoughts and prayers are with all of them today. While these attacks occurred over a decade ago, the underlying question of how America should respond to terrorist threats throughout the world remains one of our toughest challenges. I will continue to take a thoughtful and measured approach to combating these threats and ensure that the safety of Americans and our interests remain my top priority."
