Bush Observes 9/11 Anniversary
WASHINGTON (AP) - President Bush,
joined by his wife, the vice president, Cabinet members, White House
janitors, kitchen workers and groundskeepers, somberly marked the sixth
anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. They all observed a
moment of silence at 8:46 a.m., Tuesday—the exact moment in 2001 when
terrorists slammed the first jetliner into the World Trade Center in
New York.
The president stood with first lady Laura Bush and Dick and Lynne Cheney
on the South Lawn during the simple ceremony that has been repeated
each year since the attack. Dressed in dark suits, the four of them
bowed their heads as a member of the Honor Guard stood nearby, holding
an American flag.
Bush stood sternly as the Marine band,
stationed behind him on the South Portico of the White House, played
"God Bless America." Mrs. Bush then took his arm and they walked inside
along with the Cheneys.
