WASHINGTON – U.S. Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-Okla.) released the following statement in remembrance of the upcoming anniversary of the terrorist attack on September 11, 2001, honoring the men and women who lost their lives and the first responders and service members who continue to fight the global War on Terrorism: “Our nation mourns as we remember that fateful day: September, 11, 2001.
