Stephanie McMahon, WWF  Smackdown 9/13/01 - "A few years ago, some people tried to destroy my family.

They tried to rip us apart...but all they did was make my family stronger. And that's exactly how America feels right now. Because on Tuesday, America was attacked. Because America is a united nation. And together, we stand strong. I am incredibly proud to be an American citizen, and I will stand up for my rights and my freedom." -
