RESOLUTION NO. 377
RESOLUTION CONDEMNING THE COWARDLY AND DEADLY TERRORIST
ACTIONS AT THE WORLD TRADE CENTER IN NEW YORK CITY AND THE
PENTAGON, WASHINGTON, DC
WHEREAS, on September 11, 2001, the United States was suddenly and
brutally attacked by foreign terrorists; and,
WHEREAS, these terrorists hijacked and destroyed four civilian aircraft, crashing
two of them into the towers of the World Trade Center in New York City, and a
third into the Pentagon outside Washington, DC; and,
WHEREAS, thousands of innocent Americans were killed and injured as a result
of these attacks, including the passengers and crew of the four aircraft, workers
in the World Trade Center and in the Pentagon, rescue workers, and bystanders;
and,
WHEREAS, these cowardly acts were by far the deadliest terrorist attacks ever
launched against the United States, and, by targeting symbols of American
strength and success, clearly were intended to intimidate our nation and weaken
its resolve; and,
WHEREAS, these horrific events have affected all Americans. It is important that
we carry on with the regular activities of our lives. Terrorism cannot be allowed
to break the spirit of the American people, and the best way to show these
cowards that they have truly failed is for the people of the United States and their
counties to stand tall and proud.
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the governing Board of Collier County
Commissioners condemns the cowardly and deadly actions of these terrorists;
and,
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the governing Board of Collier County
Commissioners supports the President of the United States, as he works with his
national security team to defend against additional attacks and find the
perpetrators to bring them to justice; and,
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the governing Board of Collier County
Commissioners recommends to its citizens to support relief efforts by giving
blood at the nearest available blood donation center.
