The Raw Story | Advance: Kerry blasts Rove for 'outrageous' line on Sept. 11Advance: Kerry blasts Rove for 'outrageous' line on Sept. 11
RAW STORY
The following advance remarks were released to RAW STORY, for delivery on the Senate floor Thursday afternoon.
Mr. President, None of us will ever forget the hours after September 11th, the calls to our families, the evacuations, the images on television -- and then the remarkable response of the American people as we came together as one to answer the attack against our homeland.
We drew strength when our firefighters ran up the stairs and risked their lives, so that others might live. When rescuers rushed into smoke and fire at the Pentagon. When the men and women of Flight 93 sacrificed themselves to save our nation's Capitol. When flags were hanging from front porches all across America, and strangers became friends. It brought out the best in all of us.
