No American who witnessed the events of that day will ever forget what happened on September 11th, six years ago. As we watched the towers fall and the Pentagon burn, the realization sank into the heart of every one of us: America was under attack."We lost a great deal that day - thousands of innocent lives, our sense of security - but our nation stood strong. We united, first in sorrow and anger and then in the recognition that we were attacked for who we are - a people united in a kinship of ideals, committed to the fundamental truth that all men and women are created equal and endowed by God with inalienable rights.
"We united as Americans, and we must, whatever our disagreements, stick together in the great challenge of our time. On this day, let us recognize those heroes lost on September 11, 2001, and others who subsequently sacrificed their lives in the War on Terror. They will not be forgotten. Let us also, in their memory, remain united as Americans as we continue to battle the forces that threaten our country and the cherished ideals for which we stand.
