This is the 7th anniversary of the terrorist attack on the United States
On September 11, of 2001, four U.S. planes hijacked by terrorists crashed into the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and a field in Pennsylvania killing nearly 3,000 people in a matter of hours. Behind the staggering number of deaths are the individuals, each of whom left behind family, friends and co-workers who feel the national tragedy on a personal level.
We here today in a very small way wish to pay tribute to all the Survivors, Heroes, Family members, and to our United States Military personal for all the sacrifices that you gave up every day protect our freedom in Iraq, and around the world.
This tribute is also for all the Police Officers, Fireman, Hospital Workers, and countless other personal that were there that day helping in any way they could. As you watch video of that September day, you can see people fleeing for their lives running away from danger.
In those same videos, one can see Police, and Firefighters running into the danger to help as many as possible.
