John McCain '58 has labeled the September 11th attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon "an act of war". In this we believe he speaks for all alumni and indeed for all Americans. As alumni of the Naval Academy, we are here, we are ready and we will uphold our oaths. Please pray for those who have been killed and injured, and for their families, and for our nation.
