On September 11, 2001, one of America’s greatest tragedies took place. The

president at the time, George W. Bush, delivered a speech that set hope in the eyes of

frightened Americans. That morning, four planes were high jacked and flown into the

World Trade Center and The Pentagon, killing thousands of Americans. At the time,

mass panic arose, which is why George W. Bush’s speech is one of the most important

speeches given.

morning when the first planes hit, he was at an elementary school reading to children.

When he was told about the second plane, he immediately left and contacted the U.S.

Airforce.

This speech was given at 8:30 p.m. on September 11, 2001 in the Oval Office at

the White House. After gathering evidence and spending the entire day with the airforce,

the president still managed to get a speech together, which I think is the reason it was so

American feel a bit calmer about all the terror happening around them. Even though he

did not fully understand what was going on, he explained it as best he could. This may

have been a good reason for his reelection when his term ended.

The speech began with the president explaining what was happening. He

explained how our way of life had been compromised and talked about what type of

people were involved. He made the nation aware that they were terrorists attacks, and
