We must not forget what terrorism brings to a nation! We must stand and be all that God has called us to be One Nation Under God!
Health effects extended to students, office workers of Lower Manhattan and nearby China Town approximately 18,000 have developed illnesses.
We must remember what terrorism brings to a people and a nation. Terrorism comes to steal, kill and destroy. We must not forget how precious life is and we must cherish life and our freedom in our nation as a people, for we are truly weaved in the fiber of life itself, one life touches another weaved in time with God's love. We must trust in God.
