美国总统奥巴马纪念“911袭击”讲话
白宫
2012年9月8日
This week, we mark the eleventh anniversary of the September 11th attacks.It’s a time toremember the nearly 3,000 innocent men, women and children we lost, and the families they leftbehind.It’s a chance to honor the courage of the first responders who risked their lives – on thatday, and every day since.And it’s an opportunity to give thanks for our men and women inuniform who have served and sacrificed, sometimes far from home, to keep our country safe.这个星期,我们纪念9.11遇袭事件11周年。在这个时刻,我们追念失去的近3,000名无辜的男女老少,也向他们的家人表示慰问。在这个时刻,我们向紧急救援人员表示敬意,他们在那一天和此后的日日夜夜冒着生命的危险舍己救人。在这个时刻,我们感谢为国服务和做出奉献的男女军人,他们一心保卫我们的国家,有时还需要远离家乡。
This anniversary is about them.It’s also a time to reflect on just how far we’ve come as a nationthese past eleven years.这个纪念日是为了向他们致敬。这个纪念日也是为了回顾11年来我们作为一个国家做出了多大的努力。
On that clear September morning, as America watched the towers fall, and the Pentagon burn,and the wreckage smoldering in a Pennsylvania field, we were filled with questions.Where had theattacks come from, and how would America respond? Would they fundamentally weaken thecountry we love? Would they change who we are? 在那年9月一个晴朗的早晨,美国目睹了大楼轰然倒塌,五角大楼起火燃烧,飞机残骸在宾夕法尼压田野中焚毁,心中不禁充满了疑问。这些袭击来自何方?美国应该如何应对?我们热爱的国家是否会从此一蹶不振?我们是否会因此丧失我们的本色?
The last decade has been a difficult one, but together, we have answered those questions andcome back stronger as a nation.这一个10年充满了艰难险阻,但我们共克时艰,回答了这些问题,再次重振国之雄风。

Instead of pulling back from the world, we’ve strengthened our alliances while improving oursecurity here at home.As Americans, we refuse to live in fear.Today, a new tower rises above theNew York skyline.And our country is stronger, safer and more respected in the world.我们没有在世界上退守一隅。相反,我们加强了联盟的力量,同时改善了国内的安全。作为美国人,我们决不在恐惧中生活。今天,一栋新的高楼在纽约地平线上升起。我国日益强盛,更为安全,在全世界受到更大的尊重。
Instead of turning on each other, we’ve resisted the temptation to give in to mistrust andsuspicion.I have always said that America is at war with al Qaeda and its affiliates – and we willnever be at war with Islam or any other religion.We are the United States of America.Ourfreedom and diversity make us unique, and they will always be central to who we are as a nation.我们没有相互指责,决不屈服于互不信任和猜疑的的诱惑。我经常表示,美国在与“基地”组织及其附庸作战,我们决不以伊斯兰教和其他任何宗教为对立面。我们是美利坚合众国。我们的自由和多样性使我们独树一帜,这些始终是我们的立国之本。
Instead of changing who we are, the attacks have brought out the best in the American people.More than 5 million members of the 9/11 Generation have worn America’s uniform over the pastdecade, and we’ve seen an outpouring of goodwill towards our military, veterans, and theirfamilies.Together, they’ve done everything we’ve asked of them.We’ve ended the war in Iraqand brought our troops home.We brought an end to the Taliban regime.We’ve trained AfghanSecurity Forces, and forged a partnership with a new Afghan Government.And by the end 2014,the transition in Afghanistan will be complete and our war there will be over.我们没有丧失我们的本色。相反,面对这些袭击事件,美国人民展示了最优秀的品质。10年来,500多万 “9.11一代人”穿上了军装。我们看见军人、老兵及其家人处处受到无比热情的欢迎。他们同心协力完成了我们要求他们做的任何一件工作。我们结束了在伊拉克的战争,撤回了我们的军队。我们推翻了塔利班政权。我们为阿富汗安全部队提供训练,与阿富

And finally, instead of turning inward with grief, we’ve honored the memory of those we lost bygiving back to our communities, serving those in need, and reaffirming the values at the heart ofwho we are as a people.That’s why we mark September 11th as a National Day of Service andRemembrance.Because we are one American family.And we look out for each other – not juston the difficult days, but every day.最后,我们没有陷入悲痛不能自拔。我们回馈社区,为有需要的人提供服务,坚持我国人民的核心价值,以此缅怀失去的生命。正是因为如此,我们确定9月11日为全国服务与纪念日。因为我们都属于美国大家庭。我们不仅在艰难的日子相互守望,而且每一天都相互扶持。
Eleven years later, that’s the legacy of 9/11 – the ability to say with confidence that no adversaryand no act of terrorism can change who we are.We are Americans, and we will protect andpreserve this country we love.On this solemn anniversary, let’s remember those we lost, let usreaffirm the values they stood for, and let us keep moving forward as one nation and one people.11年来,9.11留下的遗产——有能力自信地说,任何敌人和任何恐怖主义行为都无法改变我们的本色。作为美国人,我们将捍卫和维护我们热爱的这个国家。在这个隆重的纪念日到来之际,让我们铭记我们失去的生命,让我们重申他们坚持的价值观,让我们的国家和人民继续奋勇向前。

第二篇:奥巴马9.11十周年纪念讲话
A Concert for Hope Kennedy Center Washington, D.C.8:12 P.M.EDT
THE PRESIDENT: The Bible tells us--“weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.”
Ten years ago, America confronted one of our darkest nights.Mighty towers crumbled.Black smoke billowed up from the Pentagon.Airplane wreckage smoldered on a Pennsylvania field.Friends and neighbors, sisters and brothers, mothers and fathers, sons and daughters –-they were taken from us with a heartbreaking swiftness and cruelty.And on September 12, 2001, we awoke to a world in which evil was closer at hand, and uncertainty clouded our future.In the decade since, much has changed for Americans.We’ve known war and recession, passionate debates and political divides.We can never get back the lives that were lost on that day or the Americans who made the ultimate sacrifice in the wars that followed.And yet today, it is worth remembering what has not changed.Our character as a nation has not changed.Our faith-– in God and in each other –-that has not changed.Our belief in America, born of a timeless ideal that men and women should govern themselves;that all people are created equal, and deserve the same freedom to determine their own destiny –-that belief, through tests and trials, has only been strengthened.These past 10 years have shown that America does not give in to fear.The rescue workers who rushed to the scene, the firefighters who charged up the stairs, the passengers who stormed the cockpit--these patriots defined the very nature of courage.Over the years we’ve also seen a more quiet form of heroism--in the ladder company that lost so many men and still suits up and saves lives every day, the businesses that have been rebuilt from nothing, the burn victim who has bounced back, the families who press on.Last spring, I received a letter from a woman named Suzanne Swaine.She had lost her husband and brother in the Twin Towers, and said that she had been robbed of, “so many would-be proud moments where a father watches their child graduate, or tend a goal in a lacrosse game, or succeed academically.” But her daughters are in college, the other doing well in high school.“It has been 10 years of raising these girls on my own,” Suzanne wrote.“I could not be prouder of their strength and resilience.” That spirit typifies our American family.And the hopeful future for those girls is the ultimate rebuke to the hateful killers who took the life of their father.These past 10 years have shown America’s resolve to defend its citizens, and our way of life.Diplomats serve in far off posts, and intelligence professionals work tirelessly without recognition.Two million Americans have gone to war since 9/11.They have demonstrated that those who do us harm cannot hide from the reach of justice, anywhere in the world.America has been defended not by conscripts, but by citizens who choose to serve-– young people who signed up straight out of high school, guardsmen and reservists, workers and business-people, immigrants and fourth-generation soldiers.They are men and women who left behind lives of comfort for two, three, four, five tours of duty.Too many will never come home.Those that do carry dark memories from distant places and the legacy of fallen friends.The sacrifices of these men and women, and of our military families, reminds us that the wages of war are great;that while service to our nation is full of glory, war itself is never glorious.Our troops have been to lands unknown to many Americans a decade ago-– to Kandahar and Kabul;to Mosul and Basra.But our strength is not measured in our ability to stay in these places;it comes from our commitment to leave those lands to free people and sovereign states, and our desire to move from a decade of war to a future of peace.These 10 years have shown that we hold fast to our freedoms.Yes, we’re more vigilant against those who threaten us, and there are inconveniences that come with our common defense.Debates –-about war and peace, about security and civil liberties –-have often been fierce these last 10 years.But it is precisely the rigor of these debates, and our ability to resolve them in a way that honors our values and our democracy, that is the measure of our strength.Meanwhile, our open markets still provide innovators the chance to create and succeed, our citizens are still free to speak their minds, and our souls are enriched in churches and temples, our synagogues and our mosques.These past 10 years underscores the bonds between all Americans.We have not succumbed to suspicion, nor have we succumbed to mistrust.After 9/11, to his great credit, President Bush made clear what we reaffirm today: The United States will never wage war against Islam or any other religion.Immigrants come here from all parts of the globe.And in the biggest cities and the smallest towns, in schools and workplaces, you still see people of every conceivable race and religion and ethnicity-– all of them pledging allegiance to the flag, all of them reaching for the same American dream –-e pluribus unum, out of many, we are one.These past 10 years tell a story of our resilience.The Pentagon is repaired, and filled with patriots working in common purpose.Shanksville is the scene of friendships forged between residents of that town, and families who lost loved ones there.New York--New York remains the most vibrant of capitals of arts and industry and fashion and commerce.Where the World Trade Center once stood, the sun glistens off a new tower that reaches towards the sky.Our people still work in skyscrapers.Our stadiums are still filled with fans, and our parks full of children playing ball.Our airports hum with travel, and our buses and subways take millions where they need to go.And families sit down to Sunday dinner, and students prepare for school.This land pulses with the optimism of those who set out for distant shores, and the courage of those who died for human freedom.Decades from now, Americans will visit the memorials to those who were lost on 9/11.They’ll run their fingers over the places where the names of those we loved are carved into marble and stone, and they may wonder at the lives that they led.And standing before the white headstones in Arlington, and in peaceful cemeteries and small-town squares in every corner of the country, they will pay respects to those lost in Iraq and Afghanistan.They’ll see the names of the fallen on bridges and statues, at gardens and schools.And they will know that nothing can break the will of a truly United States of America.They will remember that we’ve overcome slavery and Civil War;we’ve overcome bread lines and fascism and recession and riots, and communism and, yes, terrorism.They will be reminded that we are not perfect, but our democracy is durable, and that democracy –-reflecting, as it does, the imperfections of man-– also give us the opportunity to perfect our union.That is what we honor on days of national commemoration –-those aspects of the American experience that are enduring, and the determination to move forward as one people.More than monuments, that will be the legacy of 9/11 –-a legacy of firefighters who walked into fire and soldiers who signed up to serve;of workers who raised new towers, and citizens who faced down their private fears.Most of all, of children who realized the dreams of their parents.It will be said that we kept the faith;that we took a painful blow, and we emerged stronger than before.“Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.”
With a just God as our guide, let us honor those who have been lost, let us rededicate ourselves to the ideals that define our nation, and let us look to the future with hearts full of hope.May God bless the memory of those we lost, and may God bless the United States of America.

圣经告诉我们“哭泣可能会持续一夜,但欢乐会在明早到来。”
十年前,美国经历了历史上最黑暗的一天。双子塔楼坍塌了,五角大楼升起了黑烟,飞机在宾夕法尼亚州坠毁。亲朋好友们,兄弟姐妹们,父亲母亲们,孩子们,他们离开了我们,让我们承受着难以弥合的伤痛。在2001年9月12日,我们醒来所面对的世界充满了罪恶和对未知未来的恐惧。
在此之后的十年里,美国人经历了许多变故。我们经历了战争和萧条,激烈的争辩和政治分歧。我们永远也不能唤回失去的生命,或是那些在此后战争中英勇捐躯的英烈。
但是,在今天,我们应该去纪念我们走过的路。我们国家的核心价值依然没有变。我们的信念——相信上帝和彼此的力量——并没有变。我们这个国家坚信,人人自律、人人平等、人人自由,这一信念经受了考验,现在更加坚不可摧。
过去的十年证明,美国并没有畏缩。搜救人员跑进了火场,消防警察冲锋陷阵,飞机乘客跟歹徒搏斗,这些勇士证明了美国人的勇敢。在之后的十年中,我们看到了美国英雄主义的另一种表现形式:云梯消防队依然有勇敢的队员在拯救人们生命,工商企业开始重建,灾难幸存者重新振作起来,遇难者家属开始了新的生活。去年春天,我收到了一位叫Suzanne Swaine女士的来信。她在双子塔楼的灾难中失去了丈夫和兄弟,她说“那么多骄傲的瞬间从她的生命里被剥夺了,父亲原本可以看到孩子毕业、在曲棍球比赛中得分、在考试中获得好成绩。”这位女士还有两个在上大学的女儿,以及一个在念高中的孩子。她在信中写道:“十年来,我一个人养育我的女儿们。她们的坚强和勇敢让我骄傲无比。”这一家人的精神就是全部美国家庭的写照。这些女孩用充满希望的未来给了杀害她们父亲的凶手最有力的回击。
这整整十年证明了美国保护公民、维护美国生活方式的决心。外交官远离故土辛勤工作、情报人员默默无闻无私奉献。在9·11后,二百万美国人参与了战争。他们证明,那些伤害了我们的人绝对无法逃脱正义的审判,不论他们藏身何处。事实上,那些保卫国家的人不是征召的士兵,而是自愿服役的公民——他们是毕业入伍的年轻人,国民警卫队士兵和后备役,工人和商业人士,移民和第四代士兵。他们放弃舒适的生活,甚至坚持超期服役。他们中的很多人从此再也没有回来。而即便是平安回来的人也从此留下了难以治愈的心灵创伤和战友逝去的记忆。
这些军人的奉献以及他们家庭承受的牺牲提醒我们,战争的代价是巨大的,虽然他们对国家的贡献是荣耀的,战争本身却永远不是光荣的。十年中,我们的军队被派到了美国人并不熟悉的地方——坎大哈和喀布尔,摩苏尔和巴士拉。我们的强大并不是用驻军数量来衡量的,而是体现在我们要把这些地方交还给自由人民和主权国家的决心上,以及我们要结束十年的战争迎接和平未来的心愿上。
这十年证明,我们坚定地捍卫我们的自由。是的,我们对那些潜在威胁更加警惕,而且在共同防御过程中我们也造成了一些不便。对于战争与和平、对于安保和民权的争论也一直在激烈地进行着。但是,恰恰由于这些讨论的存在,以及守卫美国价值观的决心,我们证明了我们的强大。同时,我们开放的市场仍然给予创新者革新的机会,我们的公民仍然可以自由地表达观点,我们的灵魂仍然在教堂、寺庙、(犹太)教会堂和清真寺中得到洗礼。
过去的十年让美国人团结得更加紧密。我们没有变得草木皆兵、互相猜疑。在9·11之后,乔治·W·布什总统清楚地说过,我们今天再次重申:美国将永远不对伊斯兰教或其他任何宗教开战。我们有来自全世界各地的移民。无论是在美国的大都市还是小城镇,在我们的学校还是工作场所,你都可以见到各个人种、各个宗教、各个种族的人,我们都忠于一个国家,我们都怀着同一个美国梦,我们都是一家人。
过去的十年体现了美国人的坚强。五角大楼被修复了,我们的工作人员为了共同的目标在为国家工作。93号航班上失与尚克斯维尔市的居民结成深厚友谊。纽约仍然焕发生机,是艺术、工业、时尚和贸易的中心。在世贸中心曾经矗立的地方,一座新的摩天大楼直耸云霄。我们的民众还在摩天大楼内工作。我们的体育场依然挤满了球迷,我们的公园仍然有孩子嬉闹的场景。我们的机场还是熙熙攘攘,我们的公交和地铁依然承载着百万乘客。美国家庭还会在周日晚上聚餐,学生们仍然照常上课。这片土地的脉搏像往常一样跳动,普通民众乐观地工作出行,军人为人类的自由不怕牺牲。十年了,美国人再次回到这个地方纪念遇难的人群。人们的手指轻轻地划过纪念碑的大理石,寻找遇难家属的名字,想念他们曾经在世的样子。站在阿林顿市白色墓石前,或是全国各地的墓园和小城镇的广场上,我们会对那些在阿富汗战争和伊拉克战争中英勇捐躯的战士表示敬意。我们可以看到他们的名字被刻在大桥上、雕像上、公园内、学校里。
我们知道,没有任何事情可以击败真正的美国意志。我们将永远铭记,我们战胜了奴隶制、内战、灾荒、种族主义、经济萧条、城市暴动、冷战,当然还有恐怖主义。我们将提醒自己,我们不是完美的,但是我们的民主是持久的,而这一民主——反映出了人性的瑕疵——给予了我们不断完善国家的机会。这就是我们在这几天的国家纪念日中所要突出纪念的,这些价值观念让我们的国家持续进步、让我们的民众团结一致。
除了纪念碑,我们还将有其他的9·11精神遗产,它们来自冲进火场的消防队员,来自自愿入伍的士兵,来自修建新楼的建筑工人,来自坚强勇敢的公民,来自继承父母遗志的孩子。我们会坚持这样的信念,承受沉痛的打击,但却变得更加强大。
“哭泣可能会持续一夜,但欢乐会在明早到来。”
公正的上帝是我们的指引,让我们纪念逝去的人们,让我们为美国理想奋斗,让我们充满希望面向未来。
愿上帝保佑我们逝去的亲人,愿上帝保佑美国。
2011年,是“十二五”开局之年,做好今年的工作对于完成“十二五”各项目标任务至关重要。过去一年,我们的各项工作取得了很大成绩。国内生产总值增长10.3%,居民消费价格涨幅控制在3.3%,城镇新增就业1168万人,国际收支状况有所改善。这为做好今年的工作打下了良好基础。
今年,我国发展面临的形势仍然极其复杂。世界经济将继续缓慢复苏,但复苏的基础不牢。发达经济体经济增长乏力,失业率居高难下,一些国家主权债务危机隐患仍未消除,主要发达经济体进一步推行宽松货币政策,全球流动性大量增加,国际大宗商品价格和主要货币汇率加剧波动,新兴市场资产泡沫和通胀压力加大,保护主义继续升温,国际市场竞争更加激烈,不稳定不确定因素仍然较多。我国经济运行中一些长期问题和短期问题相互交织,体制性矛盾和结构性问题叠加在一起,加大了宏观调控难度。我们要准确判断形势,保持清醒头脑,增强忧患意识,做好应对风险的准备。今年国民经济和社会发展的主要预期目标是:国内生产总值增长8%左右;经济结构进一步优化;居民消费价格总水平涨幅控制在4%左右;城镇新增就业900万人以上,城镇登记失业率控制在4.6%以内;国际收支状况继续改善。总的考虑是,为转变经济发展方式创造良好环境,引导各方面把工作着力点放在加快经济结构调整、提高发展质量和效益上,放在增加就业、改善民生、促进社会和谐上。
实现上述目标,要保持宏观经济政策的连续性、稳定性,提高针对性、灵活性、有效性,处理好保持经济平稳较快发展、调整经济结构、管理通胀预期的关系,更加注重稳定物价总水平,防止经济出现大的波动。
继续实施积极的财政政策。保持适当的财政赤字和国债规模。今年拟安排财政赤字9000亿元,其中中央财政赤字7000亿元,继续代地方发债2000亿元并纳入地方预算,赤字规模比上年预算减少1500亿元,赤字率下降到2%左右。要着力优化财政支出结构,增加“三农”、欠发达地区、民生、社会事业、结构调整、科技创新等重点支出;压缩一般性支出,严格控制党政机关办公楼等楼堂馆所建设,出国(境)经费、车辆购置及运行费、公务接待费等支出原则上零增长,切实降低行政成本。继续实行结构性减税。依法加强税收征管。对地方政府性债务进行全面审计,实施全口径监管,研究建立规范的地方政府举债融资机制。
实施稳健的货币政策。保持合理的社会融资规模,广义货币增长目标为16%。健全宏观审慎政策框架,综合运用价格和数量工具,提高货币政策有效性。提高直接融资比重,发挥好股票、债券、产业基金等融资工具的作用,更好地满足多样化投融资需求。着力优化信贷结构,引导商业银行加大对重点领域和薄弱环节的信贷支持,严格控制对“两高”行业和产能过剩行业贷款。进一步完善人民币汇率形成机制。密切监控跨境资本流动,防范“热钱”流入。加强储备资产的投资和风险管理,提高投资收益。
第四篇:2012年奥巴马五角大楼911纪念讲话
Remarks by the President at the Pentagon Memorial Service in Remembrance of 9/11
Pentagon Memorial Arlington, Virginia 9:49 A.M.EDT THE PRESIDENT: Secretary Panetta, General Dempsey, members of our Armed Forces, and most importantly, to the families--survivors and loved ones--of those we lost, Michelle and I are humbled to join you again on this solemn anniversary.Today we remember a day that began like so many others.There were rides to school and commutes to work, early flights and familiar routines, quick hugs and quiet moments.It was a day like this one--a clear blue sky, but a sky that would soon be filled with clouds of smoke and prayers of a nation shaken to its core.Even now, all these years later, it is easy for those of us who lived through that day to close our eyes and to find ourselves back there--and back here--back when grief crashed over us like an awful wave, when Americans everywhere held each other tight, seeking the reassurance that the world we knew wasn’t crumbling under our feet.Eleven times we have marked another September 11th come and gone.Eleven times, we have paused in remembrance, in reflection, in unity and in purpose.This is never an easy day.But it is especially difficult for all of you--the families of nearly 3,000 innocents who lost their lives--your mothers and fathers, your husbands and wives, your sons and your daughters.They were taken from us suddenly and far too soon.To you and your families, the rest of us cannot begin to imagine the pain you've endured these many years.We will never fully understand how difficult it has been for you to carry on, to summon that strength and to rebuild your lives.But no matter how many years pass, no matter how many times we come together on this hallowed ground, know this--that you will never be alone.Your loved ones will never be forgotten.They will endure in the hearts of our nation, because through their sacrifice, they helped us make the America we are today--an America that has emerged even stronger.Most of the Americans we lost that day had never considered the possibility that a small band of terrorists halfway around the world could do us such harm.Most had never heard the name al Qaeda.And yet, it's because of their sacrifice that we've come together and dealt a crippling blow to the organization that brought evil to our shores.Al Qaeda's leadership has been devastated and Osama bin Laden will never threaten us again.Our country is safer and our people are resilient.It’s true that the majority of those who died on September 11th had never put on our country’s uniform.And yet, they inspired more than 5 million Americans--members of the 9/11 Generation--to wear that uniform over the last decade.These men and women have done everything that we have asked.Today, the war in Iraq is over.In Afghanistan, we’re training Afghan security forces and forging a partnership with the Afghan people.And by the end of 2014, the longest war in our history will be over.Meanwhile, countless civilians have opened their hearts to our troops, our military families and our veterans.Eleven years ago, memorial services were held for Americans of different races and creeds, backgrounds and beliefs.And yet, instead of turning us against each other, tragedy has brought us together.I've always said that our fight is with al Qaeda and its affiliates, not with Islam or any other religion.This country was built as a beacon of freedom and tolerance.That’s what's made us strong, now and forever.And, finally, when those innocent souls were taken from us they left behind unfulfilled work and tasks that remain undone.And that’s why, on a day when others sought to bring this country down, we choose to build it up with a National Day of Service and Remembrance.Scripture tells us “Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.” There's no better way to honor the best in those who died than by discovering the best in ourselves.This anniversary allows us to renew our faith that even the darkest night gives way to a brighter dawn.Today, we can come here to the Pentagon, and touch these names and kneel beside a building where a single stone still bears the scars of that fire.We can visit the field of honor in Pennsylvania and remember the heroes who made it sacred.We can see water cascading into the footprints of the Twin Towers, and gaze up at a new tower rising above the New York skyline.And even though we may never be able to fully lift the burden carried by those left behind, we know that somewhere, a son is growing up with his father’s eyes, and a daughter has her mother’s laugh--living reminders that those who died are with us still.So as painful as this day is and always will be, it leaves us with a lesson that no single event can ever destroy who we are.No act of terrorism can ever change what we stand for.Instead, we recommit ourselves to the values that we believe in, holding firmly, without wavering, to the hope that we confess.That’s the commitment that we reaffirm today.And that’s why, when the history books are written, the true legacy of 9/11 will not be one of fear or hate or division.It will be a safer world;a stronger nation;and a people more united than ever before.God bless the memories of those we lost.And God bless these United States of America.(Applause.)END

奥巴马纪念9/11十周年全国讲话:Coming Together as One Nation to Remember [视频]
This weekend, we’re coming together, as one nation, to mark the 10th anniversary of the September 11th attacks.We’re remembering the lives we lost—nearly 3,000 innocent men, women and children.We’re reaffirming our commitment to always keep faith with their families.We’re honoring the heroism of first responders who risked their lives—and gave their lives—to save others.And we’re giving thanks to all who serve on our behalf, especially our troops and military families—our extraordinary 9/11 Generation.At the same time, even as we reflect on a difficult decade, we must look forward, to the future we will build together.That includes staying strong and confident in the face of any threat.And thanks to the tireless efforts of our military personnel and our intelligence, law enforcement and homeland security professionals—there should be no doubt.Today, America is stronger and al Qaeda is on the path to defeat.We’ve taken the fight to al Qaeda like never before.Over the past two and a half years, more senior al Qaeda leaders have been eliminated than at any time since 9/11.And thanks to the remarkable courage and precision of our forces, we finally delivered justice to Osama bin Laden.We’ve strengthened the partnerships and tools we need to prevail in this war against al Qaeda—working closer with allies and partners;reforming intelligence to better detect and disrupt plots;investing in our Special Forces so terrorists have no safe haven.We’re constantly working to improve the security of our homeland as well—at our airports, ports and borders;enhancing aviation security and screening;increasing support for our first responders;and working closer than ever with states, cities and communities.A decade after 9/11, it’s clear for all the world to see—the terrorists who attacked us that September morning are no match for the character of our people, the resilience of our nation, or the endurance of our values.They wanted to terrorize us, but, as Americans, we refuse to live in fear.Yes we face a determined foe, and make no mistake—they will keep trying to hit us again.But as we are showing again this weekend, we remain vigilant.We’re doing everything in our power to protect our people.And no matter what comes our way, as a resilient nation, we will carry on.They wanted to draw us in to endless wars, sapping our strength and confidence as a nation.But even as we put relentless pressure on al Qaeda, we’re ending the war in Iraq and beginning to bring our troops home from Afghanistan.Because after a hard decade of war, it is time for nation building here at home.They wanted to deprive us of the unity that defines us as a people.But we will not succumb to division or suspicion.We are Americans, and we are stronger and safer when we stay true to the values, freedoms and diversity that make us unique among nations.And they wanted to undermine our place in the world.But a decade later, we’ve shown that America doesn’t hunker down and hide behind walls of mistrust.We’ve forged new partnerships with nations around the world to meet the global challenges that no nation can face alone.And across the Middle East and North Africa a new generation of citizens is showing that the future belongs to those that want to build, not destroy.Ten years ago, ordinary Americans showed us the true meaning of courage when they rushed up those stairwells, into those flames, into that cockpit.In the decade since, a new generation has stepped forward to serve and keep us safe.In their memory, in their name, we will never waver.We will protect the country we love and pass it safer, stronger and more prosperous to the next generation.
