Statement of Governor Kaine on the Sixth Anniversary of the 9/11 Terrorist Attacks

Governor Timothy M. Kaine released the following statement on today's sixth anniversary of the September 11th terrorist attacks in Arlington, New York City, and Pennsylvania:

"Today marks the sixth anniversary of the September 11th terrorist attacks.

"I join all Virginians in honoring those who lost their lives that day, and urge the citizens of the Commonwealth to reflect on the daily service and sacrifice of our first responders, firefighters, police officers, and members of our armed forces

"Let us use this sixth anniversary of 9/11 as a time to set a new priority to commit ourselves to offer service to others. The America that we know, and the Commonwealth that was attacked six years ago, is at its best and shines its brightest when we each give of ourselves in service to others."

In addition, Governor Kaine has ordered that U.S. and Commonwealth of Virginia flags be flown at half-staff throughout Virginia until sunset today in observance of Patriot Day 2007.
