“On this day nearly 20 years ago our great Nation suffered a loss unlike any she has suffered before or since. Almost 3,000 American citizens were killed on September 11, 2001, and thousands more have died or become seriously ill since from their response that day, whether at Ground Zero or in the Middle East. Men and women, young and old were stolen from their families, their communities, and our country. As she always has during our darkest hour, this country came together in a courageous way. We were one people uniting to heal a terrible wound. May we all strive today to soon find that same unity--now, not just in times of tragedy. Americans and her people will be all the better for it. May God bless the memories of those who died on September 11, and may God bless this great country. Striving to Make Kansas a Better Place to Live”
