>THE CIVIL WAR PRESERVATION TRUST was deeply saddened and stunned by the
>attacks of Tuesday, September 11. HERITAGEPAC joins CWPT in these
>feelings. We share with you a message today from CWPT:
>
>
>We preserve the lands where Americans sacrificed themselves for their
>visions of freedom in the Civil War and call those lands "hallowed." Those
>Americans were soldiers, though, in war time and were prepared to give their
>lives.
>
>The victims of the terrorist attacks were not given the opportunity to
>prepare. They were attacked by surprise, by cowards without honor. They have
>become martyrs to the cause of American freedom. Our thoughts and prayers
>are with them.
