Political Quotes

“the devastating acts committed against the United States on September 11th will never be forgotten. Today we remember those who perished in the attacks and extend our continuing support to their families. We honor and thank thousands of individuals--doctors and nurses, police and firefighters, military personnel, volunteers and blood donors and others--for their incredible acts of valor and courage and service to our nation. We salute postal workers and letter carriers who were threatened and felled by a threat they never saw. They, too, were innocent victims of these horrific acts. Our thoughts this day are with the men and women in uniform half a world away. They are on duty to preserve and defend our nation against the scourge of terrorism. We honor their service and thank them from the bottom of our hearts. Since September 11, our country has stood united in its resolve to overcome these horrific acts. I and fellow Members of Congress have joined together and supported President Bush in the war against terrorism. We have taken steps to make our country safer, assist those who have been affected by these acts of terrorism, and give law enforcement and the military the resources necessary to protect us from further acts of violence. Those who carried out these acts can try to attack our way of life and democracy, but they cannot and will not defeat it or destroy it. We will continue to work together to ensure that these acts will never be perpetrated again.”
