RESOLUTION
Relating to the terrorist attacks against the United States on
September 11, 2001.
Whereas on September 11, 2001, while Americans were attending to their daily
routines, terrorists hijacked four civilian aircraft, crashing two of
them into the towers of the World Trade Center in New York City, and a
third into the Pentagon outside Washington, D.C., and a fourth was
prevented from also being used as a weapon against America by brave
passengers who placed their country above their own lives;
Whereas four years later the country continues to, and shall forever, mourn the
tragic loss of life at the hands of terrorist attackers;
Whereas by targeting symbols of American strength and success, these attacks
clearly were intended to assail the principles, values, and freedoms of
the United States and the American people, intimidate the Nation, and
weaken the national resolve;
Whereas four years after September 11, 2001, the United States is fighting a
Global War on Terrorism to protect America and her friends and allies;
Whereas recent deadly attacks in London, Madrid, and Sharm el-Sheik, Egypt,
remind all Americans that the forces of evil that attacked the Nation
four years ago remain committed to terrorist attacks against free
peoples;
Whereas because of the skill and bravery of the members of the United States
Armed Forces and due to the constant vigilance of our Nation's first
responders, the United States homeland has not been successfully
attacked by terrorist forces during the four years since September 11,
2001; and
Whereas while the passage of four years has not softened the memory of the
American people, resolved their grief, or restored lost loved ones, it
has shown that Americans will not bow to terrorists: Now, therefore, be
it
Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
(1) extends again its deepest sympathies to the thousands
of innocent victims of the September 11, 2001, terrorist
attacks, their families, friends, and loved ones;
(2) honors the heroic actions and the sacrifices of United
States military and civilian personnel and their families who
have sacrificed much, including their lives and health, in
defense of their country in the Global War on Terrorism;
(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) 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;
(5) discourages, in the strongest possible terms, any
effort to confuse the Global War on Terrorism with a war on any
people or any faith;
(6) reaffirms its commitment to the Global War on Terrorism
and to providing the United States Armed Forces with the
resources and support to wage it effectively and safely;
(7) vows that it will continue to take whatever actions
necessary to identify, intercept, and disrupt terrorists and
their activities; and
(8) reaffirms that the American people will never forget
the sacrifices made on September 11, 2001, and will never bow
to terrorist demands.
