of solidarity following the terrorist attacks on the United
States on September 11, 2001, every United States cit-

stroyed four commercial aircraft, crashing two of them
into the World Trade Center in New York City, and
crashing another aircraft into the Pentagon outside
Washington, D.C.; and
Whereas thousands of innocent people were killed and injured
as a result of those attacks, including the passengers and
crew of the four aircraft, workers and visitors in the
World Trade Center and the Pentagon, rescue workers,
and bystanders: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate
concurring), That it is the sense of the Congress that—
(1) in response to the terrorist attacks on the
United States on September 11, 2001, United
States citizens should join together to defend and
honor the Nation and its symbols of strength; and

darity, resolve, and strength of the Nation.
