including the passengers and crew of the four aircraft, individuals in the World Trade Center and in
the Pentagon, bystanders, and rescue workers, and;

United States, and, by targeting symbols of American strength and success, clearly were intended to
intimidate our nation and weaken its resolve, and;
WHEREAS, these horrific events have affected all Americans. It is important that we carry on with
the regular activities of our lives. Terrorism cannot be allowed to break the spirit of the American
people, and the best way to show these cowards that they have truly failed is for the people of the

the cowardly and deadly actions of these terrorists, and;
