City of Anthony

To the Citizens of Anthony, Kansas, Greeting:

Whereas, America is a country peopled by freedom-loving people of every race, creed, national origin, and religion; and

Whereas, Americans everywhere place a high value on life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness; and

Whereas, those values are set forth and guaranteed within the Declaration of Independence and the United States Constitution, and

Whereas, on Tuesday, September 11, America was viciously and cowardly attacked by terrorists who share none of the values represented by America and cherished by Americans, and

Whereas, those terrorists attempted to disrupt, destroy, and forever change our democratic form of government and our way of life, and

Whereas, as a result of that cowardly attack thousands of innocent, unarmed Americans lost their lives, and

Whereas, Americans and freedom- loving peoples everywhere condemn this attack on freedom, democracy, and life itself, and

Whereas, the American spirit of perseverance and the American values of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness will triumph over the hatred and evil that prompted this attack;

Therefore, I, John R. Schott, Mayor of the City of Anthony, do proclaim September 17, 2001 through September 28, 2001 as a

Citywide Period of Honor and Support

for the victims and their families; the survivors; and the rescuers of the attack on America. I hereby urge all citizens to display the American flag, contribute funds, and donate blood during this period. I also urge all citizens to pray for and support our President, our Congress, our Law Enforcement agencies, and our Armed Forces.
