On September 11th one year ago, a terrible attack on the United States claimed the lives of thousands of Americans and hundreds of citizens from other countries. As we pause to reflect on the senseless loss of life, the Council for Secular Humanism wishes to express our sympathy to the families, friends and partners of those who died. We grieve for all the innocent victims who perished ~

the business people
the legal workers
the executives
the support staff
the chefs
the window washers
the tourists
the pilots
the crew
the airline passengers
the military assigned to the Pentagon
the civilian employees
the firefighters
the police

And we reserve a special place in our hearts for those among them who have all but been forgotten - the non-religious.

"This atrocity was an attack on all of us, on people of all faiths and on people of none."
British Prime Minister Tony Blair, 10/7/01.
