Brother Knights---A DAY OF REMEMBRANCE
Just six years ago we witnessed and experienced the horrific attacks on American soil in New York, Washington DC and Pennsylvania. This took place on September 11, 2001. Today, September 11, 2007 is the sixth anniversary of those tragic events. This tragedy is the modern day Pearl Harbor for all of us born since World War II.
We must continue to remember those Americans who died in the buildings and airplanes unnecessarily and also to remember those policemen, firemen, and members of the military who also died or were injured in these attacks trying to save those in the twin towers. These men and women were certainly heroes in their own right and deserve to be honored each year.
In 2001 the Knights throughout California responded instantaneously with a Mass and donations to the “Heroes Fund” to help those families affected by the loss of their loved ones. Today, I hope that there will be many Masses of Remembrance for those who lost their lives on September 11, 2001. I congratulate each Council, District, Chapter, or Assembly who is taking part in a Memorial Mass today.
We must never forget those who died then and we must continue to pray for the safety and protection of the members of our military who are fighting for our freedom in the Middle East. They will always be in my prayers.
May Almighty God Bless Each And Every One Of You And May Our Lady Of Victory Protect You.
Yours in FAITH, CHARITY and FAMILY,
James R. Scroggin, PSD
State Deputy
