President Obama paying tribute |
US President and other Americans
pay tribute to souls of those who were killed by terrorists on September 11,
2001. A name reading ceremony is expected to follow as families of those who
lost their lives are expected at the Memorial Plaza.
“It has now been 13 years,' Obama
said. 'Thirteen years since the peace of an American morning was broken;
thirteen years since nearly 3,000 beautiful people were taken from us; thirteen
years of moments they would have shared with us; thirteen years of memories
they would have made.”
He also paid tribute to the
strength and the endurance of the families, survivors and Pentagon personnel
who returned to work the next day, more determined than ever to keep America
strong.
“As Americans, we draw strength
from you,' he said. “Your love is the ultimate rebuke to the hatred of those
who attacked us that bright, blue morning... America stands tall and America stands
proud... We will only grow stronger.”
