Yesterday, America was besieged by images of tragedy and horror as we witnessed an attack on the very heart of the freedom which we hold so dear. Today, the Nation and the world are besieged by emotion: disbelief, anger, and enormous sorrow. We mourn the loss of thousands, and grieve for the families, friends, and communities that have lost so much. As Chaplain Coughlin told us through prayer this morning, ``Yesterday changed the world, and today we are changed.'' We will meet this change and this challenge united--knowing that our freedom is our greatest strength and knowing that in our resolve to protect freedom, we will not fail.
