C.L. Otter said "First, it establishes the sense of Congress that September 11 from this day forward will be known as the American Unity Day, establishing once and for all that that was the day that these evildoers of the world decided to take an attack on the United States, and when they did, they attacked not just the United States but, individually, all of the people of the United States. The gentlewoman from California (Ms. Sanchez) has correctly pointed out that this calls upon all charitable organizations, all military organizations, like the VFW and like the American Legion, and all others who would take the opportunity to celebrate the return of our warriors who are now engaged in that front line battle. But it goes further than that, Mr. Speaker. This also engages all of the American people." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
