"I determined in my own mind that the passengers and
crew of Flight 93 redefined the war on terrorism. It's a sacred site.
This is hallowed ground."
--Congressman John P. Murtha
"Courage and optimism led the passengers on Flight 93 to rush
their murderers to save lives on the ground. Led by a young man whose
last known words were the Lord's Prayer and 'Let's roll.' He didn't know
he had signed on for heroism when he boarded the plane that day. Some
of our greatest moments have been acts of courage for which no one could
have ever prepared. We will always remember the words of that brave man,
expressing the spirit of a great country. We will never forget all we
have lost, and all we are fighting for. Ours is the cause of freedom.
We've defeated freedom's enemies before, and we will defeat them again."
--President George Bush, November 8, 2001
