SEPTEMBER 11th

 

 

“Today, we mark the 11^th memorial observing America’s “Second Day of Infamy”: September 11, 2001. The ruthless terror attacks launched upon our country on that day remain etched forever in our memory.

All those among us who lost family that day - and during the necessary conflicts that followed - still grieve the deep personal loss.  Our hearts and our condolences are extended to every member of every family. 

To those men and women who so courageously responded as events unfolded on that horrific day; and, to all of the men and women in uniform who have so honorably served our country as well as those in uniform who continue to serve our nation, please accept our sincere thanks and heartfelt appreciation for all you do to protect and defend us.

To my fellow citizens – I urge each of us to apply a ‘special set of 3R’s’.  Let us all: Remember… all those who courageously gave their lives that fateful day 11 years ago today; and, Reflect… on what we had to do beginning 9/12/01 because of what we failed to do prior to 9/10/01; and, Recommit… to what we must do, together, to strengthen our national will.

May God bless all Americans and may God bless the United States of America.”
