President: Today We Mourned, Tomorrow We Work
"Today, people from all walks of life gave thanks for the heroes; they mourn the dead; they ask for God's good graces on the families who mourn, and tomorrow the good people of America go back to their shops, their fields, American factories, and go back to work...."  

President Addresses Nation in Radio Address
"Great tragedy has come to us, and we are meeting it with the best that is in our country, with courage and concern for others. Because this is America. This is who we are. This is what our enemies hate and have attacked. And this is why we will prevail."  

President Urges Readiness and Patience
"The United States will do what it takes to win this war. And I ask patience of the American people. There is no question in my mind we'll have the resolve - I witnessed it yesterday on the construction site."
