President George W. Bush

The number of casualties will be more than most of us can bear.

Rudolph W. Giuliani, Sept. 11, 2001

Thousands of lives were suddenly ended by evil, despicable acts of terror.

The pictures of airplanes flying into buildings, fires burning, huge structures collapsing, have filled us with disbelief, terrible sadness, and a quiet, unyielding anger.

President George W. Bush

These acts of mass murder were intended to frighten our nation into chaos and retreat.

But they have failed; our country is strong.

President George W. Bush
September 14, 2001

The hero is commonly the simplest and obscurest of men.

Henry David Thoreau

There is no question what the roll of honor in America is. The roll of honor consists of the names of men who have squared their conduct by ideals of duty.

President Woodrow T. Wilson

There is no medicine to cure hatred.

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.

America was targeted for attack because

we are the brightest beacon for freedom

and opportunity in the world.

And no one will keep that light from shining.

President George W. Bush

September 11, 2001

Tonight, I ask for your prayers for all those who

grieve, for the children whose worlds have been

shattered, for all whose sense of safety and

security has been threatened. And I pray they

will be comforted by a power greater than any

of us, spoken through the ages in Psalm 23:

"Even though I walk through the valley of the

shadow of death, I fear no evil, for You are with

me."

President George W. Bush

All is well...Safely rest.  God is nigh.

From "TAPS"
by Major General Daniel Butterfield

... in a larger sense, we can not dedicate --

we can not consecrate -- we can not hallow --

this ground.   The brave men, living and dead,

who struggled here, have consecrated it,

far above our poor power to add or detract. 

President Abraham Lincoln
Gettysburg,
Nov. 19, 1863

'Tis the business of little minds to shrink,

but they whose heart is firm, and whose

conscience approves their conduct, will

pursue their principles unto death.

Thomas Paine

Flag Unfurled at Pentagaon, Sept 12, 2001

The terrorists chose this target

hoping to demoralise our country.

They failed.

President George W. Bush
Observance of September 11th
Pentagon, Sept. 11, 2002

The attacks of September 11th were intended to break our spirit. Instead we have emerged stronger and more unified. We feel renewed devotion to the principles of political, economic and religious freedom, the rule of law and respect for human life. We are more determined than ever to live our lives in freedom.

Rudolph W. Giuliani

Mayor of the City of New York

December 31, 2001

America is a nation full of good fortune, with so much to be grateful for.  But we are not spared from suffering.   

In every generation, the world has produced enemies of human freedom.   They have attacked America, because we are freedom's home and defender.   And the commitment of our fathers is now the calling of our time.

President George W. Bush

September 14, 2001

We take the stars and blue union

from heaven, the red from our

mother country, separating it by

white stripes, thus showing we have

separated from her, and the white

stripes shall go down to posterity

representing liberty.

President George Washington
the First President of
The United States of America

Our enemies have made the mistake that

America's enemies always make. They saw

liberty and thought they saw weakness.

President George W. Bush
