We want to thank you for this
morning, for allowing us to all come together as brothers and sisters, we
thank you for America, for the freedom we experience here, for the forum
in which people from all races and backgrounds can unite behind one
cause. |

We also want to remember the
lives of those who were taken from us on September 11, 2001.
While we all mourn the loss of our fellow citizens, we
also want to take time to celebrate the lives of those lost. |
 |
We also want to remember the
lives of our soldiers who have gone out in the wake of 9/11 to defend our
freedom. We can never forget the first responders who rushed in
those buildings when human nature would have dictated a turn in the
other direction. |
| A group of radical
fundamentalists underestimated the American Spirit. We have risen
above the ashes of tragedy and the American Spirit shines today brighter
than ever. Our spirit is not in our buildings or monuments, our
spirit cannot be shattered by a 747...the American Spirit lives within
each of us and by remembering those we lost it will shine forever. |
