On the recordMarch 5, 2003
my congressional district lies a long way from the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, but on September 11 all of America was a victim of this deadly and unprovoked attack. The next day, my office was inundated with calls from young men and women ready to enlist in our Armed Forces to serve in the war against terrorism. Now almost 18 months later, these seasoned soldiers and sailors are on the front line of terrorism, having already served in places like Afghanistan, the Philippines and in the Horn of Africa. I salute their courage and selfless dedication.
