As we all continue to grapple with the terrorist attacks on the United States, we join with you and the world to express our grief, sorrow, and condolences to the victims, survivors, and families of this tragedy. We appreciate the tremendous sacrifices our relief and rescue workers have made. Thank you. We congratulate, thank, and pay tribute to our leaders from all quarters. They have risen to the occasion with steady hands and sure minds. They have shown wisdom, restraint, and sobriety. They will all need our continuing prayers. Particularly we praise our president-for his courage, resolve, and decisiveness. When president Kennedy was asked how he became a hero as the captain of a PT boat he said, "It was involuntary. They sunk my boat." William Shakespeare once said, "Some men are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them." Like Kennedy, George W. Bush has had the opportunity for greatness thrust upon him, and he has not missed his moment.
