On the first anniversary of the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, President George W. Bush spoke from Ellis Island in New York City. Bush talked about the courage of Americans: the brave passengers on Flight 93 and the emergency responders who entered the burning buildings while others fled. He talked about America’s greatness as the “nation [that] has defeated tyrants and liberated death camps and raised the lamp of liberty to every captive land” and went on to say that the enemy will not be ignored or appeased. “What our enemies have begun, we will finish” the president added.
