Approaching the podium, President Kwasniewski greets President Bush. "We are grateful to America, you, Mr. President, and your predecessors, for good will and help we have been receiving in Poland for dozen of years -- in all our efforts," said President Kwasniewski, addressing the crowd in English. "Poland is steadfast ally of the United States. We take over the co-responsibility for European and global security. On the 11th of September, all of us felt New Yorkers."
