“Time is passing. Yet, for the United States of
America, there will be no forgetting September the 11th. We will
remember every rescuer who died in honor. We will remember every family
that lives in grief. We will remember the fire and ash, the last phone
calls, the funerals of the children.”
—President George W. Bush, addressing the United Nations General Assembly, Nov. 10, 2001. Transcript here.
