September 11th was a tragic day in America's history, and a defining day in the lives of all Americans and all civilization. My prayers go out to all those who's loved ones were lost or injured. As we reflect on the horror of the terrorist attack we must all, individually and collectively as a nation, resolve to support our President, military and law enforcement in their pursuit, capture and conviction of those responsible for carrying out this act of terror. The intent of terrorism is to strike fear in the hearts of people, and to cause people to cower and retreat. We must all demonstrate as a nation and as individuals that terrorism has failed in its intent. Our history demonstrates that America has risen to meet and defeat every attempt to shake our dedication to peace and liberty. Now will be no exception. Freedom and hope in the world rest today, as it has for over two centuries, on the shoulders of Americans. May our response against those who attacked America be swift and decisive, and our resolve to never allow this to happen again ever vigilant. God has blessed America, and I pray God's healing hand touch all Americans whose families suffered loss and injury yesterday.
