For all our Nation's patriots and heroes, all the loved ones lost in that terrible day of consummate violence and hatred. For all those who by superhuman acts of bravery were also lost--whether in the air or on the ground, those responding to the needs of others and placing their own lives in jeopardy no matter what the cost. For those who are suffering still today as a result of absolute selfless acts of courage in a time of desperate need. For those left behind to mourn. We stand in awe of such strength and keep you in our prayers.

For those patriots and heroes in our Armed Forces whose lives have also been forever changed since that fateful day . . . A grateful nation remembers. And prays for peace.
