I want to thank the firefighters, the police officers, the construction workers, and all of those who came forward to answer the Nation's call on September 11.

And it sends a signal that we stand by those who come to our Nation's defense in time of trouble and, indeed, in time of war, because this was the first battle of the great war of the 21st century.
