STATEMENT FROM GOVERNOR GARY JOHNSON ON THE ANNIVERSARY OF SEPTEMBER 11, 2011

September 10, 2011, Santa Fe, NM -- Governor Gary Johnson released the following statement on the anniversary of September 11, 2001:  

"As we all pause this weekend to remember the events of September 11, 2001, our thoughts are with those who lost their lives, those who saved so many lives, and a nation that showed its greatness in countless ways. 9/11 and the days after were a time when ordinary Americans did extraordinary things. Our thoughts and our gratitude are also with the amazing men and women of our military who are putting themselves on the line every day to keep us safe.  The fight against those who would do us harm continues today, and it is a fight we must carry out with the same determination that was so magnificently displayed by the heroes of 9/11.  

"America is about liberty.  Ten years ago, liberty was attacked.  To those who lost their lives and those many more whose lives were forever changed, our deep obligation is to insure that liberty prevails not just today, but for generations to come."

And we celebrate the inspiring courage and heroism of all those who met evil in the eye like the passengers on Flight 93 and the firefighters and policemen who stormed into the burning towers.

NH House Leaders - Law Commemorating 9/11 to Take Effect in 2011

Hudson Representatives Guided the Legislation Through the New Hampshire House   Hudson--This September 11 will mark the tenth anniversary of terrorist attacks against the United States that took the lives of nearly 3,000 Americans and forever changed the way we travel.  Thanks to a group of legislators from the Town of  Hudson, the date will forever be remembered here in the State of New Hampshire.  During the last session, Hudson Representative Andy Renzullo, along with co-sponsors Jordan Ulery and  Robert Haefner, sponsored legislation that will  permanently commemorate the date in history.   "During a conversation with then-Selectman Ken Massey during a previous 9/11 ceremony, I learned that Hudson was the only town in New Hampshire remembering September 11th and the people who gave their lives on that day," recalled  Renzullo.  "I did some research and discovered that New Hampshire had nothing in statute to commemorate September 11.  That's when I filed the legislation."   The bill (HB 56) was passed on a voice vote in both the House and Senate and was then signed into New Hampshire Law,  Chapter 0061 of the laws of 2011- AN ACT relative to proper observance of September 11, 2001.  The law added the following section to RSA Chapter 4:   

   ·        4:13-p Proper Observance of September 11, 2001. The governor shall annually issue a proclamation calling for a proper observance of September 11 in honor and remembrance of the people who lost their lives on September 11, 2001. The proclamation issued by the governor shall call on the people of New Hampshire to observe the day with appropriate ceremonies, including, but not limited to, the requirements of section 144 of Public Law 107-89.

"It is important that the people of New Hampshire never forget how our lives were changed forever on that September morning ten years ago," concluded Renzullo.
