On the recordSeptember 11, 2001
Yesterday our great Nation was attacked by terrorists whose aim is to violate what we cherish so greatly across this land: our freedom, our democracy, our hopes and dreams, our quality of life. I would like to join my colleagues in expressing my sorrow for both the victims and families of those that were killed and injured during yesterday's cowardly attack. This is a time for us to remember and express our gratitude to the policemen, firefighters, and emergency service personnel who have unselfishly sacrificed their lives. Mr. Speaker, a tragedy happened in America, but America will rise and be stronger. God bless America. God bless this great people.
