Whereas, on September 1 l, 2001 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 resobe, 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 Gibson County condemns the
cowardly and deadly actions of these terrorists, and;
Be it further resolved, that the governing board of Gibson County supports the President
of the United States, as he works with his national security team to defend against additional
attacks, and find the perpetrators ro bring them to justice, and;
Be it still further resolved, that the governing board of Gibson County recommends to
its citizens relief efforts by giving blood at the nearest available blood donation center.
Resolved this 17'� day of September 2001.
