America was thrust into war on September 11, 2001, when our Nation was viciously attacked by terrorists who seek to destroy American freedoms. Since that event, the U.S. military has been winning the war on terrorism, guided by the courageous leadership of President George W. Bush. Recognizing the true threat posed by the global network of terrorism who work closely with outlaw regimes, President Bush laid out a bold and decisive plan. America will not wait for another September 11 to occur before we take action to defend the American people. In the past 22 years, our men and women in uniform, backed by dozens of coalition allies, have ended the oppressive terrorist supporting regimes of the Taliban in Afghanistan and Saddam Hussein in Iraq. This protects American families. Americans can be assured that, thanks to the commitment of President Bush and the valor of American military, that we will continue to win the war on terrorism, despite more attacks worldwide. In conclusion, may God bless our troops, and we will never forget September 11.
