On the recordSeptember 11, 2001

Unlike the old broadcast message, this is not a test, this is very real. Secretary of State Powell had it correct: This is an attack on our civilization. But in this, our darkest hour, we may also find our finest hour in our Nation's character and our Nation's will. We will help continue the rescue efforts. We will mourn the dead victims. We will pray for the families. We will salute our brave rescue workers, firemen, and policemen. We will also secure our communities, and we will bring perpetrators not just to justice but to a punishment they will not soon forget. God bless America.
