This week in Congress, in the midst of heated debate
on school vouchers, transportation spending, prescription drug coverage,
and many other contentious issues, my colleagues and I put our differences
aside as we came together on this solemn anniversary.
On this day in 2001, our world was changed forever. And now, two years later, our government, our communities, and even our families have made changes to fit this new world, and we are still changing. We have dealt with incredible losses at the hands of terrorists who tried to strip us of our freedom and way of life, and many of us have family members who have fought and are still fighting to preserve that. I am proud of the way our nation has reacted and adjusted over the past two years. I am proud of our men and women in uniform who are bravely defending our country, our military, police officers, firefighters, emergency medical personnel, and all who respond to situations that threaten our security and our lives. I hope you will join me in keeping these dedicated men and women in our hearts and in our prayers. I see a country today that is more patriotic than ever in my lifetime. I see a country today that is praying a lot more, and I know America is only getting stronger. |
