Guam - As the country prepares to commemorate ten years after the September 11th attack against America, US Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano asks Americans to be vigilant.

"As we head into the 9/11 anniversary weekend," she wrote, "we continue to urge the American public to be vigilant and report any suspicious activity to law enforcement authorities. Simply put, if you see something, say something. We take all threat reporting, including the recent specific, credible but unconfirmed threat information, seriously.

"We continue to be in close contact with our federal, state and local law enforcement partners to ensure that all steps necessary to mitigate any threats are taken. Our security posture includes a number of measures both seen and unseen and we will continue to respond appropriately to protect the American people from an evolving threat picture both in the coming days and beyond. Homeland security is a shared responsibility, and everyone plays an important role in helping
to keep our communities safe and secure."
