WHEREAS, the events of September 11, 2001, dramatically impacted our lives, our nation and our entire world; and

WHEREAS, it is critical that we remember our proud heritage and remain vigilant in defending our freedoms; and

WHEREAS, together, we as Americans and Coloradans continue to fight for the same justice and liberty that our ancestors fought for centuries ago; and

Now Therefore, I, Bill Owens, Governor of the State of Colorado, do hereby proclaim September 11, 2002,
