Summary: Bush's speech, after he was MIA on September 11th
Comment: Bush never showed up for one year of his national guard service, and likewise took the coward's route and hid out for most of September 11th, when Guiliani was at ground-zero right away. Buy his book instead of reading this.

Summary: For Such a Time As This.
Comment: On September 10, 2001 the United States was still a country severely divided by a confusing cultural war illustrated so vividly just nine months earlier when the country voted down the middle in the presidential elections. Some were still bitter about how things had turned out and were blaming President George W. Bush for the sour turn the economy was taking.

The petty bickering stopped for awhile on September 11, 2001. For the first time in a long time, the nation united. It was a horrible day, yet at the same time it was a day of honor and glory. Heroes are fashioned over time by the simple things they do in life, it's just that most people fail to see them as such. But when adversity strikes, the heroes that are always among us rise to the occassion doing what they have always done, the only difference being that it is on a stage much larger than they are used to performing upon with all eyes fixed upon them.

On September 11, 2001 President George W. Bush stood the ground and did what needed to be done. The whole world had seemed to change, but he was still the man he had always been. It was just that people began to see him in a different light, as a leader far more capable of the task set before him than many people, days earlier, would have supposed. Nine days later, he addressed the nation and parts of his speech that night remain in the hearts of all Americans. Presidents makes speeches all the time, but it is very rare that a president makes a speech that plants itself in history: Lincoln's Gettysburg Address; FDR's Day of Infamy; Kennedy's ask what you can do for your country; Reagan's address in Berlin to tear down the wall. On September 20, 2001 President George W. Bush's Our Mission and Our Moment joined those hallowed ranks. The words became embedded in all our hearts. They are a firm reminder of how great our country is, of the difficulties that lie ahead, and of the hope we can all claim as Americans. "In all that lies before us, may God grant us wisdom, and may He watch over the United States of America."

Summary: Remember, Always. (For people who say "War? What war?")
Comment: You will want this book as a keepsake and a memento of these stern times that we are passing through. For whatever reason, for good or bad, we were ordained to live during these great and terrible days, and I foresee a time when our grandchildren will ask us about this war with awe and reverence, much like we look to the World War II generation with awe and reverence.

This talk is the galvanizing address that W gave after the attack on the United States. We need to remember always what we are fighting for. We need to keep our resolve up, since, as Yates observes, "The best lack all conviction, the worst are full of a passionate intensity."

This booklet also has a chronology of the events surrounding the attack.

This is pricey for what it is it, but keep in mind that it is for charity.

We flew our flags for several day, then took them down. But the war is still on. Remember it, always.
