9/11

Seven years ago the world changed immeasurably. Lives were lost, fear was rampant and the enemies of freedom and democracy showed their faces.

But our resolve was stronger than ever and continues to this very day. Good will ultimately prevail against the evil in this world.

Senators John McCain and Barack Obama have suspended their campaigns for the day: no campaign events and all negative advertisements are off the air.

I too will respect the memory of this day and all those lost because of it.

No politics today.

Today we are not Republican or Democrat; liberal or conservative.

Today we are simply Americans.
