George W. Bush: “On the morning of September the 11th, 2001, our Nation awoke to a nightmare attack.”

seldom has history offered a greater opportunity to do so much for so many.

To you and the honored dead, our country is forever grateful.

Is it in our national interests that 25 million people who would have died now live? I think it is, and so do you.

We are heartbroken by the loss of life and the agony so many are feeling.
