Thank you to Rhea Walker for once again lending your beautiful voice to this ceremony.
And thank you all for being here.
At this very hour 17 years ago, our country was changed forever.
Nearly 3,000 people lost their lives. More than 1,300 children became orphans and more than a dozen unborn children lost fathers they would never meet.
But in response to this great evil, the American people responded as they always do—with greater goodness, with heroism, and with determination.
First responders performed one of the most heroic rescue missions in our history.
The brave men and women on Flight 93 prevented another target from being hit that day and saved lives.
I am amazed at how effective our team has been in preventing attacks and prosecuting terrorists before they can carry out their murderous aims.
They can plot attacks that can be carried out in a matter of hours.
After all, they only have to succeed once. We have to succeed every time.
They seek to impose on us their speech codes, their religion, and their ideology. But they will fail.
