 On
September 11, 2001, a cowardly and faceless enemy attacked the United States
of America and killed thousands of innocent people. We have witnessed horrible
scenes of planes piercing the twin towers, buildings crumbling to the ground,
the Pentagon wounded, and unjustifiable death in a field in Pennsylvania.
We pray that you and
your loved ones were not directly impacted by these actions. Our thoughts and
prayers go out to all of the victims and families affected by these tragic
events.
In the aftermath of
this terrible tragedy, we struggle to comprehend the impact of these deplorable
acts on millions of people worldwide. Like every civilized person on this
planet, we continue to ask ourselves WHY.
-
How could anyone
defend such monstrous acts against helpless civilians?
-
What hatred could
exist to prompt one to perform such unspeakable destruction?
-
What religious or
political convictions could justify such horrible deeds?
-
What did they hope to
achieve by turning the opinions of the civilized world against them?
-
Why?
This unprovoked aggression will not
go unpunished. Now our tears and misery are developing into feelings of anger
and steadfast determination. Americans are drawing together, flags fly
everywhere as we send a powerful message to terrorists and their benefactors. To
the terrorists of the world, we say to you...
You have failed in your
mission.
Although you have caused us
unimaginable pain,
....you have made us stronger.
