"September 11th will forever be regarded as a day that changed America," said Perry. "We were reminded that the evil in the hearts of men can manifest itself in harm to those people and institutions we most deeply cherish, even in places we long regarded as safe. Today, and everyday, we pledge to honor the memory of these innocents, pray for the healing of their families, and work for the protection of our state and nation. "
