“it has been six years since September 11, 2001 when radical Islamic terrorists attacked and murdered nearly 3,000 of our fellow Americans. On that horrible day the seriousness of the terrorist's war against us became clear. Because of their hatred of our freedom and liberty-- these deranged individuals would murder innocent men, women and children to make their point. On that day our hearts were broken--and for many who lost friends and loved ones on that fateful day their hearts will never be mended. In the days immediately following 9/11 our nation was unified. Unified in the resolve to strike back against those who murdered our fellow Americans. Unified to do what was necessary to defend our citizens from future attacks. Unified to defend our freedom and to stamp out those who would seek to take it from us. Unfortunately, since that time our unity has faded, but the danger has not. The terrorist's war against us is not about a single American President or ideology. The focus of the terrorist's hatred is every American. On this sixth anniversary of that horrific day every American should reflect upon that day and its place in our nation's history. One thing is certain--freedom is not free. And free people face a constant challenge to preserve that freedom. The terrorist's war against us is a profound test of our ability to preserve the liberty we hold so dear. Our commitment to meet that challenge must rise above petty politics.”
