CABARRUS COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS <br /> RESOLUTION <br /> <br /> WHEREAS, on September 11, 2001, America was suddenly and brutally attacked by <br />foreign terrorists; and <br /> <br /> WHEREAS, these terrorists hijacked and destroyed four civilian aircraft, crashing two of <br />them into the towers of the World Trade Center in New York City, and a third into the Pentagon <br />outside Washington, DC; and <br /> <br /> WHEREAS, thousands of innocent Americans were killed and injured as a result of <br />these attacks, including the passengers and crew of the four aircraft, workers in the World Trade <br />Center and in the Pentagon, rescue workers, and bystanders; and <br /> <br /> WHEREAS, these cowardly acts were by far the deadliest terrorist attacks ever launched <br />against the United States, and, by targeting symbols of American strength and success, clearly <br />were intended to intimidate our nation and weaken its resolve; and <br /> <br /> WHEREAS, these horrific events have affected all Americans. It is important that we <br />carry on with the regular activities of our lives. Terrorism cannot be allowed to break the spirit <br />of the American people, and the best way to show these cowards that they have truly failed is for <br />the people of the United States and their counties to stand tall and proud. <br /> <br /> NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, the Cabarms County Board of <br />Commissioners in North Carolina condemns the cowardly and deadly actions of these terrorists; <br />and <br /> <br /> BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, the Cabarrus County Board of Commissioners <br />supports the President of the United States, as he works with his national security team to defend <br />against additional attacks, and find the perpetrators to bring them to justice; and <br /> <br /> BE IT STILL FURTHER RESOLVED, the Cabarms County Board of Commissioners <br />recommends to its citizens to support relief efforts by giving blood at the nearest available blood <br />donation center. <br /> <br />Adopted this the 17th day of September 2001. <br /> <br />Arne L. Fennel, Chairman <br /> <br />ATTEST: <br /> <br />Frankie F. Bonds, Clerk to the Board <br /> <br /> <br />
