Political Quotes

“We are the guardians of our Nation's borders, America's front line. We serve and protect the American public with integrity, innovation, and pride. We enforce the laws of the United States, safeguard the revenue, and foster lawful international trade and travel. Such is the mission of the U.S. Customs Service, a government agency whose history parallels the history of our country. In 1789 when our new country was struggling to fight off financial ruin, the U.S. Customs Service was created to help save the Nation. On September 11, 2001, when our country was the victim of terrorist attacks of the most horrific magnitude, the U.S. Customs Service was once again there to help save our Nation. This measure honors the men and women of the United States Customs Service, 6 World Trade Center offices, for their hard work, commitment, and compassion during and immediately following the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001.”
