On the recordSeptember 11, 2001
tonight, America is united in mourning those lost in the faceless and cowardly attacks on Americans in our nation. During this most difficult time, our thoughts and prayers are with the victims, families, law enforcement, and medical professionals that have been directly touched by this horrible tragedy. But even as we try to make sense of what can only be described as a senseless act of hatred, we must remain strong, vigilant, and unwavering in our commitment to fight tyranny at every turn. And as the President said our response will be swift--against those who carried out the acts and those who harbor them as well. In doing so, together we will work to bring the cowards responsible for these despicable actions to justice. We have seen unspeakable horror and evil. Today, we stand with resolve and purpose to preserve justice, freedom, and democracy--the very foundation of our great nation.
