         AMERICA WILL RISE AND GROW STRONGER FROM THIS TRAGEDY

  (Mr. BROWN of South Carolina asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. BROWN of South Carolina. Mr. Speaker, yesterday our great Nation 
was attacked by terrorists whose aim is to violate what we cherish so 
greatly across this land: our freedom, our democracy, our hopes and 
dreams, our quality of life.
  I would like to join my colleagues in expressing my sorrow for both 
the victims and families of those that were killed and injured during 
yesterday's cowardly attack.
  This is a time for us to remember and express our gratitude to the 
policemen, firefighters, and emergency service personnel who have 
unselfishly sacrificed their lives.
  Mr. Speaker, a tragedy happened in America, but America will rise and 
be stronger. God bless America. God bless this great people.
