The tragedy that took place on September 11th, 2001,
has shown us the worst of humanity...
and the best of humanity.

Our hearts and prayers will ever be with those
whose lives were taken, and their families. Our thanks
to all the wonderful rescue and recovery angels
can never be adequately expressed. And our
support and prayers go out to our government
leaders and all the military men and women who
are prepared to defend our freedom.

We'll Go Forward

ONE

As the soot and dirt and ash rained down,
~ We became one color ~
As we carried each other down the stairs
of the burning building,
~ We became one class ~
As we lit candles of waiting and hope,
~ We became one generation ~
As the firefighters and police officers fought
their way into the inferno,
~ We became one gender ~
As we fell to our knees in prayer for strength,
~ We became one faith ~
As we whispered or shouted words of encouragement,
~ We spoke one language ~
As we gave our blood in lines a mile long,
~ We became one body ~
As we mourned together the great loss,
~ We became one family ~
As we cried tears of grief and loss,
~ We became one soul ~
As we retell with pride of the sacrifice of heroes,
~ We become one people ~

We are
One color
One class
One generation
One gender
One faith
One language
One body
One family
One soul
One people.

We are The Power of One.
We are United.
We are America.
