Donald Sherwood: “We owe it to our people, we owe it to our history, we owe it to the folks that made us where we are. We owe it to those…”

On the recordSeptember 14, 2001
We owe it to our people, we owe it to our history, we owe it to the folks that made us where we are. We owe it to those firefighters in New York. We owe it to our military personnel in the Pentagon. We owe it to those New Yorkers that have had their world brought down around their ears. This resolution is good. It sets out what we are about to do, and I am in strong support of it. We owe it to the world to show the world that democracy will stand and that an isolated terrorist cannot hurt America permanently. Mr. Speaker, we will send that message. We will send it with overwhelming force. God bless America.
