The despicable acts of war by unknown cowardly terrorists have touched each one of us very, very deeply -- beyond mere words. For those of us that have family members or themselves that lived through and fought for our freedom in World War II, Korea, Vietnam, and/or Desert Storm, I am sure they thought that it was not possible for these ghastly deliberate acts of terrorism to really happen on American soil! BUT, it really did happen, and we must not forget that it did! God rest all those souls...it really happened; and the truth is it could happen again anywhere, anytime. Americans must not panic because that would be allowing "Evil" to win! We are mourning the hundreds of lives lost in this devastation. We are Angry. We are Resolute and we want JUSTICE! Our home has been attacked! Our American leaders show great strength under pressure proving that the world's leader - the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA is still the world's leader in democracy and is still on duty! This horrific act of aggression did not and will not stop democracy! God Bless our leaders - give them the strength of mind, wisdom, and character to get through this time of crisis and beyond. We the people of America whether we are from small towns, metropolitan cities, the country, or living abroad are bonded together - UNIFIED - standing shoulder-to-shoulder together as ONE! We will survive, we will PREVAIL! My mother, Claude, has told me many times about the day she and Dad found the first Warren - Houston building. They were looking through the window of a building just a few blocks from where our headquarters is today, a car came to a screeching halt, a man jumped out of the car and screamed, "they've just bombed Pearl Harbor"! The day was December 7, 1941 - 59 years and 9 months ago...that day has always been referred to as "the DAY that lives in Infamy".... well, September 11, 2001 is going to be a day remembered in an even more dramatic way! As we gather our thoughts, prayers and plans for our future we the owners of the company want all of you to know how much we love each and everyone of you and your families. No matter what our futures holds the people we have worked with side-by-side and have gotten to know are very special to us. God bless each one of you. Now as our President, George W. Bush, turns his attention outward to the resolution of this crime against the civilized world we MUST do our part! We must not allow chaos or panic to take hold! It is time to redouble our commitment to the United States of America and for all She stands. As we return to our jobs we will work harder; we will donate blood to help New York and Washington D.C.; we will sacrifice without complaint; we will prove to those that would crush and bury the USA that this CANNOT be done. Not by King George, nor by slavery, the Kaiser, Hitler, nor Krushaev and most assuredly not by this latest cowardly gang of thugs. The United States of America IS strong and we will make Her even stronger with every passing day. Be proud to be an American. Be proud to be free. GOD BLESS AMERICA - OUR HOME SWEET HOME !!!!!!!!!!!! From the Thompson-Draper-Schmidt-McAlvany Family Owners of Warren Electric Group
