July 25, 2011
Dear Ambassador Wegger Chr. Strommen,
On behalf of Minnesota’s Sixth Congressional District, which includes many Norwegian Americans, please accept our heartfelt sympathies in the aftermath of Friday’s attacks in Olso and on the Island of Utoeya.
Acts of violence disrupt the very fabric of everyday life, a fact we Americans came to know intimately after the attacks on our soil on September 11, 2001. The road to healing is long, but I am confident your citizens will come to unite as a nation in the midst of this tragedy. I pray your nation will continue to stand for the ideals of freedom including free speech and the rights to life and liberty.
The United States stands with the people of Norway in mourning this recent and extremely tragic loss of human life. We support you as you prosecute, any and all, guilty parties responsible for this attack to the fullest extent of the law. We pray for a safe and secure future and hope for comfort for the Norwegian people.
Sincerely,
Michele Bachmann
Member of Congress
