"Today, our fellow
citizens, our way of life, our very freedom came under attack in a series of
deliberate and deadly terrorist acts."
"The
victims were in airplanes or in their offices: secretaries, business men and
women, military and federal workers, moms and dads, friends and neighbors.
Thousands of lives were suddenly ended by evil, despicable acts of terror."
"A
great people has been moved to defend a great nation. Terrorist attacks can
shake the foundations of our biggest buildings, but they cannot touch the
foundation of America. These acts shatter steel, but they cannot dent the
steel of American resolve."
"This is a day when all
Americans from every walk of life unite in our resolve for justice and
peace. America has stood down enemies before, and we will do so this time.
None of us will ever forget this day, yet we go forward to defend freedom
and all that is good and just in our world." |
