Washington, D.C.– United States Senator Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) will Sunday attend “A Concert For Hope” to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the tragedies that took place on September 11, 2001. The event will be held at 8 p.m., September 11 at the Kennedy Center Concert Hall. 

“As we approach this very meaningful anniversary I believe the most important thing we can do as Americans is to try to recapture the spirit of unity we all felt that fateful day. We must remember that despite our political differences, we all share one very important thing in common – we are all Americans. 

“So on this 10th anniversary of September 11, 2001, I urge you to stop and remember what happened 10 years ago not just in New York, Washington, and Pennsylvania, but in the hearts and minds of all Americans who shared in the collective grief of this nation. I urge you to honor the victims, survivors and families affected by 9/11 by remembering the pride we feel in this nation, the love of our freedoms and our way of life that unite us.”
