September 11, 2001: United We Stand!

The tragic events of September 11th have left a permanent scar on our national psyche that will not be quick to heal. However, democracy will continue to be exercised no matter what the cost. The values of openness and tolerance, without which we would descend to the level of our new enemies, will continue to stand. Finally, the American spirit which drives us to reach out to help those in need - a spirit we need now more than ever - will continue to triumph. In the wake of this terrible act of national terrorism, Talisker Tutorial Service is committed to making a difference by helping those in need. Please join us in taking the following action: Please pray for the victims, their families and our nations leadership. Support President Bush and the Congress in the actions we must take to respond to this act of war (Write your Senators and Representatives). Donate blood if you can. Donate financial aid if you can (See links below). Do not let terrorism scare you. The United States will track down those responsible and bring them to justice. Send cards/emails of support to police departments, fire departments, emergency medical personnel and the military. Please remember that whatever you decide to do, you can make a difference in these times of need. We have the strongest democracy in the history of the world and we will get through this shocking attack on our country. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the families of the victims and our nation as a whole. God Bless America! Sincerely, Mark W. Vance, M.Ed.
