ALBUQUERUQE — Today marks 21 years since the Sept. 11 attacks on America, four coordinated attacks by al-Qaeda that killed nearly 3,000 people on American soil. 
 
The Republican Party of New Mexico (RPNM) remembers the victims of 9/11 and honors the heroes on that horrific day, a dark page in American history that has forever changed America, the world and the way we all live today.
 
The following is a statement from Republican Party of New Mexico Chairman Steve Pearce on today’s commemoration of Sept. 11:
 
“We must always honor the memory of those innocent Americans who lost their lives in these horrific attacks, and we must always pay tribute to the first responders and others for their heroism, their sacrifices, and to those who saved so many lives on this day. Many of those brave Americans fought the terrorists and saved lives. The 9/11 attacks were an evil, unspeakable assault on Democracy, freedom and our way of life. We all pray that America remains vigilant and strong in the war on terror. On this September 11, America must come together as one nation, proud and strong, and we as Americans must never forget the freedoms we cherish daily.”
