Today we honor our fellow
Americans who lost their lives and their loved ones 12 years ago on 9/11. While
we remember the tragedy of 9/11 we also remember the hope, the coming together
of our Nation and the pride that were forged on that day.
We honor those victims,
survivors and the emergency responders left in the wake of the attacks on
America.
And we are reminded of that
feeling once again of working closely with our friends, our families and our
neighbors to improve our world.
We all remember where we
were that fateful day as we watched the tragedy unfold on TV and we must never
forget the sacrifices made that day.
As a Nation, our resolve
never wavered and today we honor that.
I encourage each of you to
do an act of good will today as a remembrance and tribute to those who made the
supreme sacrifice.
If every Cherokee does one
good deed, one gesture of volunteerism to a greater good, the ripple effect will
be felt well beyond our borders.
