9 years ago today, our nation was attacked by a small force of militants who saught to strike at the very heart of liberty and freedom around the world, and because ours is a country that promotes free trade and civil cooperation among the international community, they targeted the center of that sentiment. The United States began as an experiment, one that continues today. An experiment to prove government of, by, and for the people can be successful. To this day, through war and tragedy, that such government has not failed, and it shall not perish from this earth. That night, as I held hands with friends and neighbors and family members, singing "God Bless America", I devoted my life to promoting and defending those values that set us apart, as well as the guiding spirit that welcomes the rest of the world to join at our side.
