This is an address to that nation from President George W. Bush about how important it is that this nation stay together and stay strong. Amercians were attacked by some terrorists/enemies. It was a tragic attack that had an effect on many lives. People were in the face of terror and things became very chaotic. People didn't know what to do or where to turn to. However, because of the togetherness, because this nation knows how to come together and help one another in times of need, this country was able to survive. Being able to work together as a nation is what determines is your nation will be successful and strong. The people build the strenght of a nation. Evil, sad to say, exist but the good will outweigh the bad.
