Today we honor those individuals who died in the tragedy of 9/11 and the brave men and women who served to preserve those lives hanging in the balance. "May we never forget what can happen to innocent people when freedom is threatened. " The flashbulb memories of 9/11 are seared in our minds and our deepest sympathy is devoted to those who lost loved ones in this horrific tragedy.
This country belongs to a people who believe in the highest standards of freedom, equality, and excellence. A collection of people who walk different paths, yet respect the beliefs and the values of those individuals who have chosen to make this great country their home.
We continue to believe and act upon the noble characteristics that keeps this nation superior to others: dependability, determination, ambition, courage, loyalty, fair mindedness, equality, straightforwardness, inspiration, intelligence, honesty, forgiveness and valor. We are forever moving forward, believing in a productive future filled with promise. In our darkest hours we rally together, giving generously of our time and substance to those who are less fortunate. We administer to the sick and afflicted, and we sustain those who suffer through personal tragedy and crises. Never before has there been a people who have acted with such dignity and grace.
It's our heritage and God given right, as a chosen people, to sustain the principles this country was founded upon. We are a beacon of light in a world filled with confusion and turmoil yet, as we place our faith in God, we can visibly see the power that's preserving this great nation.
A special blessing be upon the men and women of the armed forces, who keep our boarders safe, and in honor of those who have sacrificed their lives on our behalf. We are forever indebted to the courage and commitment these valiant individuals continue to display. By Linda Sumner Urza, One fine day
