“today all Americans must pray with one voice; pray for those innocents killed in yesterday's cowardly attacks, for those families torn asunder by this evil, for those rescuers, police, fire, and health workers putting their lives at risk. Let us all raise our voices today in one American prayer, then we will bury our dead and we will care for our injured and all those affected by this tragedy. We will pick up the pieces as one great nation, and together we will have our justice with a sure and mighty sword. To the terrorists who conspired in this horrific crime and to those who harbor those terrorists, know this: you are America's mortal enemies. America is the strongest country in the world. We have the will, the resources, and the power; and we will defeat you. We will hunt you down like the evil murderers that you are. In doing so, we will be demanding the assistance of every government in the world. Those who help us, they will be our friends. Those who do not help us, we will consider our enemies. With one voice, America says to the cowardly terrorists and their supporters, we Americans are still here. You have not stopped America. You have not stopped freedom. You have not stopped what a great people have spent 225 years building, the light of hope and humanity and liberty for all the people of the world, the United States of America.”
