2 <br /> RESOLUTION OF CONDEMNATION FOR TERRORIST ACTS AND REGRET <br /> FOR THE RESULTING LOSS OF LIFE <br /> WHEREAS,on September 11,2001,the United States of America was suddenly and <br /> brutally attacked,presumably by foreign terrorists; and, <br /> WHEREAS,these terrorists hijacked and destroyed four civilian airliners, crashing two <br /> of them into the twin towers of the World Trade Center in New York, a third <br /> into the Pentagon outside Washington,D.C., and a fourth into a field in <br /> southern Pennsylvania; and, <br /> WHEREAS,thousands of innocent people were killed and injured as a result of these <br /> heinous attacks,including the passengers and crew of the four aircraft, <br /> workers in the World Trade Center and in the Pentagon,rescue workers, and <br /> bystanders; and, <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 <br /> and success, clearly were intended to intimidate our nation and weaken its <br /> resolve; and, <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 <br /> to break the spirit of the American People,and the best way to show these <br /> cowards that they have truly failed is for the people of the United States-and <br /> their counties to stand tall,proud, and unbowed. <br /> The Orange County Board of Commissioners hereby Resolves: <br /> That the Board of Commissioners of Orange County condemns the cowardly and deadly <br /> acts of these terrorists; and, <br /> That the Board of County Commissioners of Orange County supports the national <br /> government as it works to defend our country against further attacks, and find the <br /> perpetrators of these horrific acts and bring them to justice; and, <br /> That the Board of Commissioners of Orange County recommends to its citizens to <br /> support the relief efforts by giving blood at the nearest available blood donation center. <br /> Let this Resolution be inscribed in the minutes of this meeting and sent to the Governor <br /> of North Carolina, the Orange County legislative delegation, and the North Carolina <br /> Association of County Commissioners this the 1_e day of Sgptember, 2001. <br /> Dr. Stephen H.Halkiotis, Chair <br /> Orange County Board of Commissioners <br />
