THE PRESIDENT: Today our nation remembers -- we remember a sad and terrible day, September the 11th, 2001. We remember lives lost. We remember the heroic deeds. We remember the compassion and the decency of our fellow citizens on that terrible day.

Also today is a day of prayer. We pray for the husbands and wives and moms and dads and sons and daughters and loved ones of those who still grieve and hurt. We pray for strength and wisdom. We thank God for the many blessings of this nation, and we ask His blessings on those who especially hurt today.


Honoring the memory of those who died during terrorist attacks on this day two years ago, President George W. Bush, Laura Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney and Lynne Cheney stand with White House staff for a moment of silence on the South Lawn 8:46 a.m., Thursday, Sept. 11, 2003.

END 8:04 A.M. EDT
