We could not let this evening end, without giving some words from our President of the United States, Barak Obama. Below is a piece of his speach today.
“Our remembrance today also requires a certain reflection, as a nation and as individuals. We must ask ourselves, how best to honor them… Those who died… those who sacrificed? How do we preserve their legacy? Not just on this day, but every day.
We need not look far, for our answer. The perpetrators of this evil act didn’t simply attack America. It attacked the very idea of America itself. All that we stand for and represent in the world; so, the highest honor that we can pay those we lost, indeed our greatest weapon in this on-going war is to do what our adversaries fear the most. Stay true to who we are as Americans. To renew our sense of common purposes to say that we define the character of our country and we will not let the acts of some band of murders who slaughter the innocence and coward in caves distort who we are. They died at our will, but as Americans we persevere.”
