September 10, 2009
A great generation responded to Pearl Harbor. Another great generation has responded to New York City, the Pentagon, and a Field in Pennsylvania. To Iraq and Afghanistan today, America’s soldiers have fought to protect our homeland from another attack. Today is a time to remember the nearly 3,000 people, mostly civilians, killed on 9/11, and a time to reflect on the sacrifices that were made on that day and continue to be made today to defend our nation against radical Islam.
I want to take this time to remember the sacrifices made by LtCol Jeffrey Chessani, USMC, who served three tours of duty in Iraq, and is still being persecuted by the government he so loyally served. 
I also want to remember the sacrifices of Captain Michael Martino, USMC, and Major Gerald Bloomfield, USMC, who died in defense of their country. The ACLU has filed a lawsuit to prevent their families from memorializing their sacrifices at the foot of the Mt. Soledad Cross, a nationally recognized veterans’ memorial.
Through our military men and women’s brave service, the Thomas More Law Center is able to protect the rights they fight for in our courts today.
This is a time to pray for our Country and all our fighting men and women in harm's way. It is customary to observe a moment of silence beginning at 8:46 A.M. (Eastern Daylight Time), the time of the first plane crash on September 11, 2001.
With warm regards on this remembrance of September 11, 2001.
May God continue to bless America.
