RESOLUTION
Expressing the sense of the Senate on the second anniversary of the
terrorist attacks against the United States on September 11, 2001.
Whereas on the morning of September 11, 2001, terrorists hijacked and destroyed
four civilian aircraft, crashing two of them into the twin towers of the
World Trade Center in New York City, and a third into the Pentagon in
Arlington, Virginia;
Whereas the valor of the passengers and crew on the fourth aircraft, which
crashed in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, prevented it from also being used
as a weapon against America;
Whereas thousands were killed and injured as a result of these attacks,
including the passengers and crew of the four aircraft, workers in the
World Trade Center and in the Pentagon, rescue workers, and bystanders;
Whereas September 11, 2001, stands as the deadliest terrorist attacks ever
perpetrated against the United States;
Whereas by targeting symbols of American strength and success, these attacks
were intended to assail the principles, values, and freedoms of the
United States and the American people, to intimidate the Nation and all
who stand with us, to weaken the national resolve; and bend our will to
their grotesque cause;
Whereas in the darkest moments after the attacks, American men and women
demonstrated extraordinary courage and compassion;
Whereas local, State, and Federal leaders set aside differences and worked
together to provide for those who were attacked and to protect those who
remained; and
Whereas nations around the world provided material support and moral support to
the United States as it recovered from the terrorist attacks: Now,
therefore, be it
Resolved, That the United States Senate--
(1) recognizes September 11 as both a day to remember those
taken so suddenly and so ruthlessly, and a day for Americans to
recommit themselves to our great national purpose;
(2) extends its deepest sympathies to the countless
innocent victims of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks,
their families, friends, and loved ones;
(3) honors the heroic actions of first responders, law
enforcement personnel, State and local officials, volunteers,
and others who aided the innocent victims and, in so doing,
bravely risked their own lives and long-term health;
(4) extends its deepest gratitude to the members of the
Armed Forces serving both at home and abroad who are defending
the United States from future attack;
(5) praises the people of the United States for their
patriotism, compassion, prayers, and generosity in donating
time and money to support the innocent victims of the September
11, 2001, terrorist attacks, their families, friends, and loved
ones;
(6) expresses thanks and gratitude to the foreign leaders
and citizens of all nations who have assisted and continue to
stand in solidarity with the United States against terrorism in
the aftermath of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks; and
(7) reaffirms that the United States Senate will honor the
memory of those who lost their lives as a result of the
September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks and will act to defend
the citizens of the United States in the face of all future
challenges.
