Bush at National Cathedral on 9-13-01
"We are here in the middle hour of our grief.
We have seen the images of fire and ashes, and bent steel.
This nation is peaceful, but fierce when stirred to anger."
He has kept us safe and I think it’s been way more difficult than we’ll ever know.
Thanks for this post. For me, this was the most moving moment of the Bush administration....it was a truly defining moment.
The contrast between GWB and Hillary yawning and looking bored was and continues to be the chasm between our side and theirs.
GW was inspiring and truly presidential. It was wonderful!
“Now come the names. They are the names of men and women who began their day at their desks or at an airport, busy with life.
They are the names of passengers who defied their murders and prevented the murder of others on the ground.
They are the names of men and women who wore the uniform of the United States and died at their posts.
They are the names of rescuers — the ones whom death found running up the stairs and into the fires to help others.
We will read all these names. We will linger over them and learn their stories, and many Americans will weep. To the children and parents and spouses and families and friends of the lost, we offer the deepest sympathy of the nation. And I assure you, you are not alone.”
George Bush is a great man.
On this national day of prayer and remembrance, we ask almighty God to watch over our nation and grant us patience and resolve in all that is to come. We pray that He will comfort and console those who now walk in sorrow.
As we’ve been assured, neither death nor life nor angels nor principalities, nor powers nor things present nor things to come nor height nor depth can separate us from God’s love. May He bless the souls of the departed. May He comfort our own. And may He always guide our country.
God bless America.
As a historian, I think this will go down as one of the greatest speeches in American history.
I totally agree.
This was one of the greatest speeches ever. It comforted all of us, it forewarned the evil-doers, it acknowledged God, it reminded of all the greatness that is America.
It is shameful that President Bush is scorned by so many.
God Bless our President, and God Bless our troops and their families.
mark for later
Thank you for the post. This is the first time I have seen a recording of the ceremony at the National Catherdral. This was President Bush’s greatest speech.
