Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
with conquering limbs astride from land to land
here at our sea-washed, sunset-gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of exiles. From her beacon hand glows
world-wide welcome, her mild eyes command
the air-bridged harbor, that twin-cities frame

"Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she,
with silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,
your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore;
send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

November 2, 1883

We Americans have always opened our door to the
hurting, those needing a place of refuge,
those seeking a new way of life.
Now we are hurting and seeking answers!

Like so many other Americans, I feel that the
people doing this evil misunderstood and thought
our welcome mat was a floor mat. I'm here to tell you
that our Lady Liberty lifts her torch up to a family
of people that our proud and brave.

Those who have participated in this evil plan and attack,
you have no idea what you have begun. We cannot and will not
let innocent men, women and children be slaughtered without
exacting justice. One of my co-workers said to me, retribution
is best served up "cold". I had to think about that for awhile.
However, I believe that having a cool head and making plans
are what is right. Righteousness is best served by calm, cool,
well-trained experts.

Like so many Americans that have dedicated their lives
to freedom and justice, I remind you of our forefathers
and doing so, I point you to real heroes.

I remind you of Patrick Henry saying..
"Give me Liberty or Give me Death".
I then give you the tireless workers in this United States,
gathering together to seek out victims and rescue those they
can. Again, I point my finger to the heroes! I cannot be
there to help you, would that I could. However, I am there
in spirit and in prayer, and I continue to hold you up asking
God to direct your path and to protect you.
