September 11th

My wife Kerry and I join with all Americans in praying for the rescue and relief efforts that are currently underway, and we hope and pray for safe reunions for those of you who are still trying to contact loved ones.

Yesterday’s tragedy was a heinous kamikaze attack on innocent civilians. These terrorists targeted institutions of freedom. They may have weakened the foundations of buildings; but not the foundation of this country. Freedom and free enterprise cannot be destroyed so easily. To quote Admiral Yamamoto shortly after the attack on Pearl Harbor December 7^th 1941, they “have awakened the sleeping giant and filled him with a terrible resolve”.

We have been awakened to the new battlefield of the 21^st century and we must prepare to fight it. I ask you to support our leaders in Washington and New York in the difficult days ahead. We will bring these criminals to justice, we will rebuild, the American way of life will endure.

Thank you again for your support, and may God Bless America.

Sincerely,

Sen. Dean Martin
