Kenai City Council
A RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENAI, ALASKA, SUPPORTING
THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
WHEREAS, on September 11,2001, the United States of America was suddenly and
brutally attacked by terrorists who hijacked and destroyed four civilian aircraft,
crashing two of them into the towers of the World Trade Center in New York City, a
third into the Pentagon, and a fourth in Pennsylvania, killing and injuring thousands of
innocent people; 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 resolve; and,
WHEREAS, these horrific events have affected all Americans, however, it is important
we carry on with the regular activities of our lives as terrorism cannot be allowed to
break the spirit of the American people.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENAI,
ALASKA, and representing the men, women and children of the Kenai community, that
we support the President of the United States and our national security team in
protecting and defending the United States of America against cowardly and deadly
terrorist actions.
"A single twig breaks, but the bundle of twigs is strong." Tecumseh, Shawnee Nation.
We are strong. We are One. We will survive.
PASSED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENAI, ALASKA, this 19th day of
