Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Speaker, tomorrow will be 6 years. Everybody knows where they were 6 years ago, as everybody of my generation knows where they were when President Kennedy died and everybody of the previous generation knows where they were on December 7, 1941, a day that will live in infamy. September 11, 2001, is a day that will live in infamy. We survived that as a country. We are together in fighting terrorism, and we are together in support for this great country and democracy. We have differences of opinion on how best to go about preserving our great country, our homeland security and defeating the terrorists; but people on both sides of the aisle are Americans. People in this Hall are patriotic. Although we have differences in how we analyze data and information given us by different officials and see events in different ways, we all see them with the same eventual outcome, and that is to hope that we have peace and prosperity here in this country and throughout the world. In conclusion, I take a moment to honor the people who were so heroic in Pennsylvania and remember their words: Let's roll. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. |
