"On this solemn anniversary, we rededicate ourselves to the cause...
We must put aside our differences...
We will defeat our enemies, we will protect our people, and we will lead ... to a shining age" (?) of the 21st century.
The word "shining" evokes a Ronald Reagan speech.. ?
"We must put aside our differences." Obviously directed at sh*thead Dems.
He makes me very Proud to be an American
"Earlier this year, I traveled to the United States Military Academy. I was there to deliver the commencement address to the first class to arrive at West Point after the attacks of September the Eleventh. That day I met a proud mom named RoseEllen Dowdell. She was there to watch her son Patrick accept his commission in the finest Army the world has ever known. A few weeks earlier, RoseEllen had watched her other son, James, graduate from the Fire Academy in New York City. On both these days, her thoughts turned to someone who was not there to share the moment: her husband, Kevin Dowdell. Kevin was one of the 343 firefighters who rushed to the burning towers of the World Trade Center on September the Eleventh – and never came home. His sons lost their father that day – but not the passion for service he instilled in them. Here is what RoseEllen says about her boys, 'As a mother, I cross my fingers and pray all the time for their safety – but as worried as I am, I am also proud – and I know their dad would be too.'"
"Osama we are coming for you."
Good to see you, too! Howdy!
Excellent point to make in the speech.
"Our Nation is blessed to have young Americans like these – and we will need them. Dangerous enemies have declared their intention to destroy our way of life. They are not the first to try – and their fate will be the same as those who tried before. Nine-Eleven showed us why. The attacks were meant to bring us to our knees, and they did – but not in the way the terrorists intended. Americans united in prayer, came to the aid of neighbors in need, and resolved that our enemies would not have the last word. The spirit of our people is the source of America’s strength. And we go forward with trust in that spirit, confidence in our purpose, and faith in a loving God who made us to be free."
Everything Bush says or does drives the liberals insane because the are inherently insane. They are every bit as extreme as the Jihadists. That's why totalitarianism appeals to them so much.
Fight for the forces of moderation?
Not quite Remember Pearl Harbour.
Why can't somebody give George a Real stemwinder of a speech
Call Peggy Noonan.
Meek!!! Good to see you my FRiend!
"Thank you, and may God bless you."
"The word "shining" evokes a Ronald Reagan speech.. ?"
My thoughts exactly!
"I put my uniform back on full time because of 9/11."
You have my undying gratitude and continued prayers.
He makes me very Proud to be an American
I stand with you in pride..and I am so proud my President is from Texas!
God Bless you President Bush....
Thanks for all you do.
"Faith in a loving God"....
excellent.
If he continues to preach Islam is peaceful, he is doing us more harm.
"They meant to bring America to its knees, and they did... but not in the way they intended. We fell to our knees in prayer..."
