In the wake of the destruction of the World Trade Center
many Americans have asked why these terrorists hate the United
States and why they don't believe that we are resolved to defend our own people.
The men and women who defend the United States, here and abroad, need our unconditional support.
They need to know that we are with them today and that we will not abandon them when the
going gets tough. If you want to make a difference, seek out someone
who is going in harm's way - they're not hard to find these days. Tell them
that you are proud of the job that they are doing. Give them your steadfast
support on each and every day as if your freedom itself depends upon it -
because it does.
