Video: George W. Bush Remembers 9/11
On Saturday, former President George W. Bush and his wife Laura honored the heroes of September 11th at the dedication of the Flight 93 National Memorial.
Shortly after, the Bush Center released a video in which the former President invited people to help commemorate the 10th anniversary of the attacks by contributing to a historical record for future generations (video follows with commentary):
“Ten years ago, the sun rose on a peaceful September morning. By the time it set, nearly three thousand people were gone – the most lives lost on American soil in a single day since the Battle of Antietam. But the courage of so many men and women who saved innocent lives that day will live with us forever.” – President George W. Bush
To commemorate the 10 year anniversary of 9/11, the George W. Bush Presidential Center is asking you to share your 9/11 story – how did 9/11 change your life; what does the 10 year anniversary mean to you? This collection of stories – your memories – will become a permanent part of the Bush Center and integrated into the online museum experience.
Those interested should visit the George W. Bush Presidential Center.

I watched President Bush and President Clinton both give very moving speeches honoring these heroes in what was one of the most heroic selfless acts in American history by civilians.
Where was Obama?
I guess he couldn't fit it into his schedule.

Your computer should have a character viewer you can enable in your international settings.

Thanks everyone - for the "character" assist.

Don't want him doing anything
Submitted by jon_torlin on Sat, 09/10/2011 - 6:41pm.
At this point, I don't want Soetoro and his wookiee doing anything. It would be far better for them to just shut it. Soetoro has skipped on so many traditions regarding our history and our military to the point where he sends Joe Bite-me in his place that for him to do anything would be just pointless and even farcical. Besides, I wouldn't want a Muslim giving some kind of dedication or whatever for our fallen. It's just wrong.
They have disrespected this nation in so many ways that they need to be gone. Just get out of the white house, go back to Hawaii or Chicago or Kenya, I don't care, just get out and stay out and don't get in front of any TV camera any more. They are lower than scum.
