         EXPRESSING SORROW FOR FAMILIES OF SEPTEMBER 11 VICTIMS

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. JEFF MILLER

                               of florida

                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, September 11, 2003

  Mr. MILLER of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I rise today on the two-year 
anniversary of the worst attack on American soil in our history. Once 
again I would like to express my sorrow for the families of the 
September 11 victims and all those who have lost their lives in the war 
on terrorism.
  The power of the American spirit shall never again be underestimated. 
On September 11 and the days since, America has shown everyone that a 
strong, vibrant nation faced with adversity can come together unlike 
any nation on earth. America has distinguished itself as the shining 
beacon of democracy throughout the world. When attacked, and freedom is 
in danger, we have proven that freedom will prevail. I am proud to see 
American citizens reflect on this day, whether by displaying flags or 
sharing a moment of silence.
  The memories of that tragic day will always be remembered and 
reflected upon by the First District of Florida. May God bless our 
military men and women, and these United States.
