Attack on America
Whereas, on September 11, 2001 our nation was
attacked with deliberate and brutal cruelty causing
thousands of casualties; and
Whereas, it is said that adversity introduces us to ourselves. This is true of a nation, as well. In this trial, we have been reminded and the world has seen, that our fellow Americans are generous, kind, resourceful, brave; and
Whereas, we have seen our national character in eloquent acts of sacrifice. In these and many other ways, Americans showed deep commitment to one another and an abiding love for our country. This is also clearly evident in services of prayer and candlelight vigils together with American flags which are displayed in pride and wave in defiance; and
Whereas, in our prayers we ask Almighty God to watch over our nation and grant us patience, fortitude and resolve in all that is to come and knowing that America is the land of the free because it is the home of the brave; and
Whereas, our President in calling America to arms said that no one should forget fundamental American values and our first responsibility is to live by them, therefore be it
Resolved that the Sons of the Revolution are united with our President who has assured the nation that we will meet violence with patient justice and resolve, assured of the rightness of our cause. In all that lies before us, may God grant us wisdom and may He watch over and bless the United States of America.
