Gov. Rick Perry today released the following statement to mark the anniversary of the September 11th terrorist attacks:
“The memory of those murdered on September 11, 2001 is etched forever in the heart of a tolerant and freedom-loving nation still sickened by the atrocities committed on that terrible day. The recent murders by extremists of two brave American journalists are vivid reminders that we still face an enemy capable of senseless and profoundly evil acts. We stand against such barbarism with resolve and a commitment to advance the values upon which our nation was founded. On this day especially, we remember the Americans in uniform at posts around the world who vigilantly guard our freedom. And we pray for the safety of our nation’s first responders, who carry on the legacy of service exemplified by those who gave their lives on September 11, 2001.”
