Never Forget !!!
On September 11, 2001 there were some men that decided that they didn’t like what America stands for:
Freedom, Liberty, and the Rights of men and women of all races, backgrounds, and beliefs. So on that
morning, they hijacked four planes and attacked America, innocent civilian people from the United States and
62 nations, died in a terrible way.

Two of the hijacked civilian airplanes were crashed into the World Trade Center in New York City. The third
plane was crashed into the Pentagon in Washington, D.C. The fourth and last plane was going to crash into
another building in Washington, D.C., but the passengers stopped the hijackers, and the plane crashed into a
field instead.
Over 3,000 innocent people lost their lives through these attacks. Hundreds of people were on the planes.
Thousands died in the buildings that were hit by those planes. Making the attacks of September 11th the
worst act of terrorism in world history.
The men that arranged this terrible attack want Americans to feel afraid and disorganized. They want to make
Americans do what they say by threatening us. Basically they’re big bullies. These 19 bullies were members of
a group or gang called Al-Qaeda, also known as the Taliban, led by a man called Osama bin Laden.

That’s why it’s important for Americans to join together and help each other to stop buillies, both foreign and
domestic. The people of the United States are a strong group of people. Keep faith in who you are and what
our country stands for and we will become even stronger than before.

September 11 - Bible Verses for Patriot Day Words of Hope and Comfort
Psalm 25:2-3
In you I trust, O my God. Do not let me be put to shame, nor let my enemies triumph over me. No one
whose hope is in you will ever be put to shame, but they will be put to shame who are treacherous without
excuse. (NIV)
Psalm 119:114
You are my refuge and my shield; I have put my hope in your word. (NIV)
Psalm 147:3
He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds. (NIV)
Lamentations 3:20-23

I well remember them, and my soul is downcast within me. Yet this I call to mind and therefore I have hope:
Because of the LORD's great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every
morning; great is your faithfulness. (NIV)
Habakkuk 3:16-19
I trembled inside when I heard all this; my lips quivered with fear. My legs gave way beneath me, and I
shook in terror. I will wait quietly for the coming day when disaster will strike the people who invade us. Even
though the fig trees have no blossoms, and there are no grapes on the vine; even though the olive crop fails,
and the fields lie empty and barren; even though the flocks die in the fields, and the cattle barns are empty, yet
I will rejoice in the LORD! I will be joyful in the God of my salvation. The Sovereign LORD is my strength! He will
make me as surefooted as a deer and bring me safely over the mountains. (NIV)
Acts 2:25-27
David said about him: "I saw the Lord always before me. Because he is at my right hand, I will not be
shaken. Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body also will live in hope, because you will not
abandon me to the grave, nor will you let your Holy One see decay... (NIV)
Romans 8:28-39
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called
according to his purpose. For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of his
Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. And those he predestined, he also called; those he
called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified.
What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare
his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things?
Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies. Who is he that
condemns? Christ Jesus, who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is
also interceding for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution
or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? As it is written: "For your sake we face death all day long; we are
considered as sheep to be slaughtered."
No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that
neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither
height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in
Christ Jesus our Lord. (NIV)

Oath of citizenship (United States)
Patriot Day - Least We Forget - September 11, 2001- Continued
14 | P a g e
The United States Oath of Allegiance (officially referred to as the "Oath of Allegiance," 8 C.F.R. Part 337 (2008))
is an oath that must be taken by all immigrants who wish to become United States citizens. The first officially
recorded Oaths of Allegiance were made on May 30th, 1778 at Valley Forge, during the Revolutionary War.
The current oath is as follows:
I hereby declare, on oath, that I absolutely and entirely renounce and
abjure all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state, or
sovereignty of whom or which I have heretofore been a subject or citizen; that I
will support and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States of
America against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith
and allegiance to the same; that I will bear arms on behalf of the United
States when required by the law; that I will perform noncombatant service in
the Armed Forces of the United States when required by the law; that I will
perform work of national importance under civilian direction when required
by the law; and that I take this obligation freely without any mental
reservation or purpose of evasion; so help me God.
8 C.F.R. 337.1 provides that the phrase "so help me God" is optional and that the words ‘on oath’ can be
substituted with ‘and solemnly affirm’. Also, if the prospective citizen can prove such commitments are in
violation with his or her religion, the lines "that I will bear arms on behalf of the United States when required
by law; that I will perform non-combatant service in the Armed Forces of the United States when required by
law" are sometimes omitted.
The Oath of Citizenship is not a federal law. Technically, any oath is legal, as long as it meets the "five
principles" mandated by the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1953. These principles are:
* allegiance to the United States Constitution,
* renunciation of allegiance to any foreign country to which the immigrant has had previous allegiances to
* defense of the Constitution against enemies "foreign and domestic"
* promise to serve in the United States Armed Forces when required by law (either combat or non-combat)
* promise to perform civilian duties of "national importance" when required by law
There has been some controversy about the wording of the oath, parts of which are based on the British Oath
of Supremacy which was written in the 16th Century. As a result, some have suggested much of the language
is antiquated and confusing. In the fall of 2003 the United States Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration
Services planned to change the oath of citizenship in time for Citizenship Day (September 17).[citation
needed] The proposed oath was as followed:
Patriot Day - Least We Forget - September 11, 2001- Continued
15 | P a g e
Solemnly, freely, and without mental reservation, I hereby renounce under oath all allegiance to any foreign
state. My fidelity and allegiance from this day forward is to the United States of America. I pledge to support,
honor, and be loyal to the United States, its Constitution, and its laws. Where and if lawfully required, I further
commit myself to defend the Constitution and laws of the United States against all enemies, foreign and
domestic, either by military, noncombatant, or civilian service. This I do solemnly swear, so help me God.[2]
The introduction of the new oath was scrapped by the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration, Border
Security, and Claims on April 1, 2004.
