Dallas, Texas : Born from the devastation and pain of the 9/11 tragedy, Unity Day USA has become an Icon of Unity and hope for America’s spirit of freedom. “This is an annual event for Americans to come together to rededicate our pledge to the safety, security and prosperity of our nation”. Announced Mike Ghouse, president of the Foundation for Pluralism.
The 4th annual 911 Memorial event will be commemorated on Sunday, September 7, 2007 at the Crowne Plaza Hotel at 14315 Midway Road, Addison, Texas, 75001 between the hours of 4:30 and 7:00, refreshments will be served towards the end of the program. There is no charge for this event. Bring your friends, but please RSVP to :ConfirmAttendance@gmail.com
On this Unity Day USA, we, the people of the United States of America; of every faith, race, ethnicity, culture and background will gather for short two hours for peace, unity and security of our nation and the world. "In the two hours we meet, I ask you to drop all your identities of faith, ethnicity, race, size, color and gender, and just look to each other as American, and none but American" Mike Ghouse said.
Our 2008 theme is "One Nation under God". Our religious leaders will seek guidance and wisdom from their respective faiths and our Civil servants and community leaders will echo the same sentiment and suggest ways in which we as individuals can work toward creating and sustaining cohesive and thriving local communities.
The American Muslims have taken the initiative to remember one of the greatest tragedies in the history of our nation by bringing about a positive change to the 9/11 event. We wish to honor the lives of thousands of fellow Americans on that day and we have committed to make this day, the Sunday before 9/11, a day of Unity of Americans to pledge to the peace, unity and prosperity of our nation.
God willing, the Unity Day USA will become a national day of Unity of Americans, once our congress persons like Nancy Pelosi and Pete Sessions get to it. Sunday before 9/11 was suggested by Congressman Pete Sessions, Kenny Marchant and Ralph Hall in a luncheon meeting in Dallas.
As Americans we uphold, protect, defend and celebrate the values enshrined in our constitution. All our faiths reinforce the creed of "One Nation under God, with liberty and justice for all."
