WEEKLY ADDRESS: Remembering

September 11th

WASHINGTON — In this week’s address, President Obama marked the tenth anniversary of the

September 11th attacks and paid tribute to the first responders, those serving our nation in the

military, and those who lost their lives on that tragic day. In the difficult decade since 9/11, our

nation has stayed strong in the face of threat, and we have strengthened our homeland security,

enhanced our partnerships, and put al Qaeda on the path to defeat. As we look to the future, wewill continue to prove that the terrorists who attacked us are no match for the courage, resilience,

and endurance of the American people.

Remarks of President Barack Obama

Weekly Address

The White House

Saturday September 10, 2011

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 r isked 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 firstresponders; 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 toprotect 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 newpartnerships 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.
