Our thought and prayers are with all those who have suffered through the terrible tragedy that struck our nation.  We would like to express our sincere gratitude to the citizens of America who have pulled together in this time of need to contribute their help and support.

America is not a country whose people exist in isolation.  Living in America is living in a family.  A family that argues and bickers through its day-to-day living, but when tragedy strikes one…it strikes all.  Many of us did not personally know anyone wounded or killed in the attacks, but you would never know it.  We cry and we grieve as though every one of the victims was a member of our family.  Once again, the citizens of our country have set aside all of their differences to show that we are a family at heart.

There are many lessons to be learned from the loss we are enduring.  One of the most important is to love one another and we must pass this lesson on to our children.  Now is the time to teach that hatred is not the way to live, and that war and violence is not the way to prove a point or make others understand our views.  We all may be different colors, different religions and have extremely different opinions, but we are all humans with hearts and feelings. 

God Bless America.
