RESOLUTION NO. 2001 - / ~ 3
RESOLUTION CONDEMNING THE TERRORISM ACTS
OF SEPTEMBER 11, 2001
WHEREAS, on September 11, 2001, The United States of America was suddenly and
brutally attacked by foreign terrorists; and
WHEREAS, these terrorists hijacked and destroyed four civilian aircraft, crashing two of
them into the towers of the World Trade Center in New York City, and a third into the Pentagon
outside Washington, D.C.; and the fourth went down in a field in Pennsylvania; and
WHEREAS, thousands of innocent Americans were killed and injured as a result of these
attacks, including the passengers and crew of the four aircraft, workers in the World Trade Center
and in the Pentagon, rescue workers, and bystanders; and;
WHEREAS, these cowardly acts were by far the deadliest terrorist attacks ever launched
against the United States, and, by targeting symbols of American strength and success, clearly were
intended to intimidate our nation and weaken its resolve and;
WHEREAS, these horrific events have affected all Americans. It is important that we carry
on with the regular activities of our lives. Terrorism cannot be allowed to break the spirit of the
American people, and the best way to show these cowards that they have truly failed is for the people
of the United States and their counties to stand tall and proud.

COMMISSIONERS OF THE COUNTY OF EAGLE, STATE OF COLORADO:
THAT, the Board of County Commissioners condemns the cowardly and deadly actions of

additional attacks, and find the perpetrators to bring them to justice, and;
