On the recordSeptember 11, 2001
on September 11, 2001, America was brutally attacked by cowards who intentionally ended the lives of innocent men, women and children. Many have said today that Americans will never be the same. How could we be? We will never again see the faces of those who were lost. We will never experience the promise their lives afforded us all. We will never forget the courage and strength of our police, fire and rescue teams who paid such a huge price to protect us during this national tragedy. Yet, for those around the world who celebrate these acts, believing they have weakened the cause of freedom, let the message go forth that the torch of freedom has been rekindled in every American heart and glows brighter today than ever before. Let them know that we shall build a living memorial to all of the victims which shall be the unity and resolve we bring to destroy terrorism and the systems that sustain terrorism around the world. Let the message be clear that you do not kill Americans and get away with it.
