Weekly Address: Upholding the Legacy of Those We Lost on September 11th

Source: White House

In this week’s address, President Obama marked the 15th anniversary of the September 11th attacks and paid tribute to the victims, survivors, first responders, and those who have served our country. The President said that although a lot has changed over the past 15 years, the core values that define us as Americans have remained the same.

As Americans we are resilient, we will never give into fear, and we will always look out for one another. Our strength is in our diversity, our welcoming of all talent, and our fair treatment of everyone – no matter their race, gender, ethnicity, or faith. The President said that’s part of what makes our country great – and if we uphold those values, we will carry on the legacy of those we lost and keep our nation strong and free.

It doesn't seem like it's been 15 years although it is starting to feel like it has been awhile ago now - maybe 10 years. But I have always commented to myself that after this event, GWB ensured that I lost at least 10 years off my perceived timeline.

Thanks for the weekly post!
