"Twenty years ago, the United States experienced one of the worst tragedies in its history when thousands of Americans were killed in New York City, Washington D.C., and Pennsylvania as the result of a terrorist attack. Today, we remember those who were lost that day, their families, and the sorrow felt by all Americans. In this tragedy, the people of the United States came together as a nation and this twenty-year anniversary should remind us that despite many differences, we are one people with common interests and a basic belief in the rule of law. As a nation, we are stronger together."

"The world changed on September 11, 2001. We saw then the horrific and cowardly attacks by terrorists bent on destroying our country and our way of life by directly attacking our freedom, our liberty, our democracy, and our Constitution. But what did not change were our beliefs, our resolve to protect our values, and the importance of freedom and the significance it carries with our enemies. These attacks did not divide us, they strengthened us. The HBA also continues its important mission of service to the members and the community, and assistance to victims in need. The rule of law has prevailed. United we stand."
