Our nation is united, we are strong, we're compassionate, neighbors care
President George W. Bush remarks at news conference held Oct 11, 2001
"I think there's a certain sacrifice when you lose a piece of your soul. And
Americans - listen, I was standing up there at the Pentagon today and I saw
the tears of the families whose lives were lost in the Pentagon. And I said
in my talk there that, ``America prays with you.'' I think there's a
sacrifice. There's a certain sense of giving themselves to share their grief
with people that they'll maybe never see in their lives.
So America is sacrifice. I think the interesting thing that has happened, and
this is so sad an incident, but there are some positive things that are
developing.
One is I believe that many people are reassessing what's important in life.
Moms and dads are not only reassessing their marriage and the importance of
their marriage, but of the necessity of loving their children like never
before.
I think that's one of the positives that have come from the evildoers.
The evil ones have sparked an interesting change in America, I think, a
compassion in our country that is overflowing. I know their intended act was
to destroy us and make us cowards and make us not want to respond, but quite
the opposite has happened. Our nation is united, we are strong, we're
compassionate, neighbors care about neighbors. "
