I rise today to pay tribute to the men and women who lost their lives in this cowardly attack against the United States of America. I, as so many others, am overcome by the magnitude of this horrific act, a cowardly act against innocent people. It is hard to understand what would motivate people to do such a thing. But now I think we understand our hearts must go out to the victims, to their families, and all who have suffered at the hands of this evil that struck this greatest nation on Earth. May God be with those who have passed and those who are suffering. Words, I know, are of little solace in a terrible tragedy such as this in dealing with the shock and pain.

We are united in our resolve, no matter who we are, to see justice done on behalf of the lives lost so senselessly. We must unite and comfort our fellow Americans in these difficult days. Their grief is immeasurable and they need our support. They will have it.
