Presidential Proclamation commemorating today’s anniversary of the attack on the United States of America.

Americans will always remember the terrible events and violent cruelty of September 11, 2001. We will always honor the many innocent lives that were lost, and we will never forget the heroism of passengers, first responders, and others on that day. During this year’s National Days of Prayer and Remembrance, we pay tribute to the memory of those taken from us in the terrorist attacks in New York, in Pennsylvania, and at the Pentagon. We pray for the families left behind who continue to inspire us through their steadfast character, courage, and determination.

In the time since September 11, 2001, Americans have come together to defend America and advance freedom. We are grateful to our brave men and women in uniform who are making daily sacrifices at home and at posts around the globe, and we pray for their safety as they defend our liberty. In the war on terror, we have lost good men and women who left our shores to protect our way of life and did not live to make the journey home. We honor their memories, and we pray for their families.

The war that began for America on September 11, 2001, continues to call on the courage of our men and women in uniform and the perseverance of our citizens. The past 4 years have brought many challenges and sacrifices, yet we have much reason to be thankful and hopeful about the future. America has become more secure as terrorists have been brought to justice, two of the most brutal and aggressive regimes have ended, and freedom has spread in the Middle East and around the world. In the months and years ahead, we will continue to defend our freedom and lay the foundations of peace for our children and grandchildren.

Michelle Malkin helps remind us what the politically (and childishly) biased Legacy Media folks don’t want us to remember — the bodies.

(Why do they not want to show the bodies from 9/11, but want to show the bodies from Katrina — sorry, rhetorical question with obvious answer.)

Take a moment to reflect upon Cox and Forkum and FDNY 9/11.

Scott Johnson at PowerLine celebrates the remembrance of Kellog, Minnesota as told by Katherine Kersten:

In the minds of these people of Kellogg, the Sept. 11 attack on the World Trade Center and the defense of America are joined inextricably. For them, America is about more than rights; it’s about responsibilities.

Here in Kellogg’s Legion hall, there is an unembarrassed patriotism. Perhaps it’s all too sentimental for some sophisticated city dwellers. But neighborliness and love of country is in these people’s blood. They don’t hold it out and analyze it. They live it.
