ANNAPOLIS, MD (September 11, 2012) – Governor Martin O’Malley today issued the following statement on the 11th anniversary of the September 11th attacks:
“On September 11, 2001, we told one another that we would never forget. Today and every day, we remember the men, women, and children - 68 of them Marylanders - who lost their lives 11 years ago, as well as their loved ones who still grieve for them. We remember the courage of those who risked everything to save others that day. And we pay tribute to the brave men and women who provide for our nation's defense each and every day, because freedom isn't free.
“Each and every year on this day of remembrance, we should look to our neighbors and rediscover all that unites us and has made our nation a beacon of hope and human dignity to the world."
Joe, I thought Ms. Cohen's comments last night about 9/11 and the passing of Henry Parker, the gentleman from Delmar (I apologize for forgetting his name) and longtime meeting goer Mr. Holland was very nicely done. As she asked, my husband and I prayed at the breakfast table for our service men and women to come home safely.
ReplyDeleteThat has special meaning to me as my grand nephew may be one of those deployed in the future soon.
I hope everyone will remember this day and pray for our soldiers.
I wonder where he was when he supposedly made this statement
