Remembering September 11, 2001
September 11, 2008
The seventh anniversary of the events of September 11, 2001 evokes a wide range of emotions in the hearts of all Americans. We remember the sacrifice of fellow Americans in New York, Washington and Shanksville, Pennsylvania as we admire the courage of thousands of others who responded with the magnanimity that distinguishes our national spirit.
On this anniversary, our hearts as Americans are joined with those who lost loved ones on that day. We look back on the horrific events of that day with greater resolve to make our country safer and more secure. We honor our first responders, our soldiers, and our fellow civilians who rose to the occasion on September 11, 2001 and during the days that have followed.
We will never forget. May the memory of September 11 continue to inspire us to make our nation a greater place, and in doing so turn our sadness into glory.
