Statement of DNC Chairman Howard Dean on the Fifth Anniversary of 9/11

Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean issued the following statement commemorating the fifth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks:

"As we mark the fifth anniversary of the tragic attacks against our country, we honor the memories of the brave men and women who lost their lives that day and the families and friends of those who mourn them. Today is a day to reflect on the grief and loss we experienced as Americans but it's also a time to renew our commitment to fight and win the war on terror at home and around the globe. On September 11, the world unified around America and saw the strong spirit and resiliency of the American people. Today, we must renew our call to protect our airports, ports and transit systems and do everything possible to keep Americans safe from harm."
