The Anniversary

Today is the sixth anniversary of the 9/11 attack. We remember our fellow citizens who died that day. And we are inspired by the heroism of the firefighters, police, and rescue workers, many of whom gave their own lives to help others. Each of us has a role in protecting our country against future attacks; each of us needs to become involved in our country's political system and work to protect the constitutional liberties that others have died for.
As we remember the sacrifices of 9/11 today, we should recall the words of President Lincoln:

"We here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain — that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom — and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth."
