This
is a time for all Americans to reflect on what it means to be an
American. We have gone across the seas in years past to fight in
the defense of the freedoms we hold so dear, but this time the
battlefield is closer to home - too close.
We
all must remain vigilant but not scared, we must all realize that our
country will take appropriate action but we must remain patient,
our routine has been altered but we must continue to do what needs to be
done.
Our
Armed Forces remain ready to go anywhere, at a moments notice, to carry
out the mission dictated by the NCA, win and come home to a grateful
nation.
Through
out the coming days, weeks and months ahead, I encourage every citizen
to keep the fine young men and women serving in uniform today in your
thoughts and prayers. We are united, we've rallied around Old
Glory and we will be successful in searching out and destroying our
enemy.
Throughout
the challenges we will confront ahead, I encourage each American to take
care and continue to take care of each other. God Bless ya'll and
God
Bless America.
