Political Quotes

“we are a nation at war, a war the President has said may take years. He has asked for the Nation's patience and perseverance to deal with the perpetrators of terror and bring them to justice. A united nation stands prepared to make the necessary sacrifice and put up with the heightened security that disrupts our daily lives. It is an inconvenience that pales in comparison to the sacrifice of those brave Americans at the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and the fields of Pennsylvania on September 11. For elder Americans, this is a second day of infamy that they have persevered through, the first being December 7, 1941. These Americans, that Tom Brokaw aptly describes as 'the greatest generation' know all too well the meaning of sacrifice and resolve. No generation has shouldered more proudly this Nation's rise to world power. No generation has borne such a heavy burden. None stands more committed than they to stand with the Commander in Chief during this struggle. They know intuitively, as did the first President of their generation born in this century, that we must put Nation above self. With all the patriotic fervor and resolve, they stand committed today to face any challenge, conquer any foe and sustain a nation free of terror for their children.”
