The second anniversary of the tragic event that occurred on September 11th. I would like to pay my respects to all those Americans who perished in the attack and hope that all of us reflect for a moment, thinking and being thankful for all those before us that gave their lives so that we may live ours in the manner that we do.

In addition, I would like to thank all our servicemen/women who are currently serving, especially those in Iraq. We ( the American people) appreciate the sacrifice that you make. Come home safe.
