“on this first year anniversary, I extend my deepest sympathies to the families of the countless number of innocent victims of the September 11th terrorist attacks on the Pentagon, the World Trade Center, and in a desolate field in Pennsylvania. Nothing will ever repair the losses we suffered as a nation one year ago today. The history of the United States changed forever when nineteen terrorists hijacked four planes and killed three thousand Americans. While the events of that morning will forever play in our mind's eye, we endure and we are moving forward. As a united America, we have taken the needed steps to rebuild, to heal, to pursue justice, and to secure our borders. Since that time, I have been proud to vote for legislation to make our communities safer and our military stronger as we face the challenges of the new century. I commend President bush for his leadership and I commend the brave men and women of the United States Armed Forces in the successful effort to oust the Taliban from power and hunt down those terrorists who perpetrated these acts of evil.”
