I'm proud to be an American.

I give thanks to our God who gave us this land.

I give thanks to all who fight for our freedom.

I give thanks to all who strive to uphold

all the good this country stands for.

Today I honor the men and women who sacrificed their lives to help others on 9/11.
Those who were lost will never be forgotten.

I wish to all who lost loved ones in this terrible event, that you may be filled with peace and comfort and know that one day you will be together again.
