REACTION TO THE TERRORIST ATTACKS ON THE U.S.

Selfreliance Association of Ukrainian Americans

On behalf of the National Board of the Selfreliance Association of American Ukrainians and all our branches and members, we express deep shock and profound sorrow for the deaths of countless innocence people in the United States, who were murdered in a series of cowardly terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon and in Pennsylvania on September 11, 2001. We deplore this heinous act of violence perpetrated by faceless terrorists with complete disregard for human life.

During this great tragedy we have witnessed unparalleled examples of courage by our police and fire departments, and all involved in this difficult rescue operation. We have witnessed also the exemplary courage and leadership of Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, Gov. George Pataki and President George W. Bush. This great tragedy has brought all of us closer together.

We urge all our members and supporters to help in any way they can, by contributing services and money, donating blood or consoling those in need.

We pray for the victims of this national tragedy and send our condolences to their families.

Bohdan Mychajliw, President
Stefania Kosowycz, Secretary
National Board, Selfreliance Association of American Ukrainians Inc.
