2 years ago cowardly terrorists attacked our Nation, killing innocent Americans who were simply going about their daily lives, and the aim of those terrorists was to change America. Well, the terrorists did change America, but not how they had hoped, because they renewed our patriotic pride for our Nation and what it stands for. They steeled our resolve and commitment to defeat the enemies of freedom. The true spirit of America is not to run away from a fight or wring our hands. Our true spirit was shown by the brave firefighters and police officers who charged into those burning towers to save fellow citizens. Our true spirit has been reflected by our men and women in uniform who have toppled the Taliban and Saddam Hussein bringing freedom to Afghanistan and Iraq. My message to the terrorists is this: You have failed. America's spirit has been strengthened, our purpose renewed, our dedication to freedom is stronger than ever. God bless America.
