Acusis mourns the
loss of innocent victims of the devastating attacks on
September 11, 2001.
Acusis Team,
On 11 September 2001 America was attacked
by terrorists who killed thousands of innocent people in New
York, Washington and close to Pittsburgh, where we have our
headquarters. The identity of these terrorists is yet unknown
and intense efforts are being made to bring them to justice.
None of the members of the Acusis family
were individually hurt by these attacks, however many of us
had close friends and business associates who died either in
New York as the World Trade Center towers collapsed or who
may have been on the hijacked planes used in the incident.
Indeed, as the effects of this incident ripple over the world
we see that it is really a global tragedy that will, in ways
large and small, affect us all. Our thoughts and prayers are
with the friends and family members of those killed who must
absorb this disaster and find a way to move on.
We live in a complex world and perhaps
the one thing that Acusis can do in the face of this catastrophe
is to provide to all people a small example of how people of
different nations, races, religions and cultures can live and
work together in harmony and with respect and admiration. We
may have differences but they add to our effectiveness as our
diversity gives strength and depth to our company character.
We can show that borders and beliefs are no barrier to the
creation of a loyal, dedicated and successful team.
The end goal of terror is to induce deep
fear and immobilize people, causing them to withdraw in panic
and dread. If that happens, then the terrorists truly do win.
Acusis will not do this; we will go back to work and it is
now business as usual. While we will cope with expected travel
restrictions and logistical difficulties we will never sway
from our determination to be a great global company and we
will show that we have not bowed our head in the face of these
cowardly acts and that we will not live in fear.
Please accept my personal thanks for all
for your support and commitment.
