A PROCLAMATION BY THE PRESIDENT
A PROCLAMATION BY THE PRESIDENT: NATIONAL DAY OF

For Immediate Release September 13, 2001
NATIONAL DAY OF PRAYER AND REMEMBRANCE FOR THE
VICTIMS
OF THE TERRORIST ATTACKS ON SEPTEMBER 11, 2001

BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
A PROCLAMATION
On Tuesday morning, September 11, 2001, terrorists
attacked America in a
series of despicable acts of war. They hijacked
four passenger jets, crashed
two of them into the World Trade Center=s twin
towers, a third into the
Headquarters of the U.S. Department of Defense at
the Pentagon, causing great
loss of life and tremendous damage. The fourth
plane crashed in the
Pennsylvania countryside, killing all on board but
falling well short of its
intended target apparently because of the heroic
efforts of passengers on board.
This carnage, which caused the collapse of both
Trade Center towers and the
destruction of part of the Pentagon, killed more
than 250 airplane passengers
and thousands more on the ground.
Civilized people around the world denounce the
evildoers who devised and
executed these terrible attacks. Justice demands
that those who helped or
harbored the terrorists be punished -- and
punished severely. The enormity of
their evil demands it. We will use all the
resources of the United States and
our cooperating friends and allies to pursue those
responsible for this evil,
until justice is done.
We mourn with those who have suffered great and
disastrous loss. All our
hearts have been seared by the sudden and
sense-less taking of innocent lives.
We pray for healing and for the strength to serve
and encourage one another in
hope and faith.
Scripture says: "Blessed are those who mourn for
they shall be comforted."
I call on every American family and the family of
America to observe a National
Day of Prayer and Remembrance, honoring the memory
of the thousands of victims
of these brutal attacks and comforting those who
lost loved ones. We will
persevere through this national tragedy and
personal loss. In time, we will
find healing and recovery; and, in the face of all
this evil, we remain strong
and united, "one Nation under God."
NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of
the United States of
America, by virtue of the authority vested in me
by the Constitution and laws of
the United States, do hereby proclaim Friday,
September 14, 2001, as a National
Day of Prayer and Remembrance for the Victims of
the Terrorist Attacks on
September 11, 2001. I ask that the people of the
United States and places of
worship mark this National Day of Prayer and
Remembrance with noontime memorial
services, the ringing of bells at that hour, and
evening candlelight remembrance
vigils. I encourage employers to permit their
workers time off during the lunch hour to attend
the noontime services to pray
for our land. I invite the people of the world who
share our grief to join us
in these solemn observances.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand
this thirteenth day
of September, in the year of our Lord two thousand
one, and of the Independence
of the United States of America the two hundred
and twenty-sixth.
