    Remarks Following a Tour of the Tribute WTC Visitor Center in New York
    City
    September 10, 2006

        Laura and I approach tomorrow with a heavy
    heart. It's hard not to think about the people who lost their lives on
    September the 11th, 2001. You know, you see the relatives of those who
    still grieve--I just wish there were some way we could make them whole.
    So tomorrow is going to be a day of sadness for a lot of people.
        It's also a day of remembrance. And I vowed that I'm never going to
    forget the lessons of that day. And we spent time in there looking at
    some of the horrific

    scenes--inside this fantastic place of healing--and it just reminded me
    that there's still an enemy out there that would like to inflict the
    same kind of damage again.
        So tomorrow is also a day of renewing resolve. I asked--today at the
    church service I asked for God's blessings on--of those who continue to
    hurt.
        Thank you.
