Dear Students:
On September 11, 2001, many Americans lost mothers, fathers,
sisters, brothers & friends in a national tragedy. Those
who knew them are feeling a great loss, & you may be
feeling sorrow, fear & confusion as well.
The feelings & thoughts that surround this tragedy
are as plentiful as they are conflicting. I want to reassure
you that there are many people -- including your family,
your teachers, & your school counselors -- who are there
to listen to you.
September 11 changed our world. But with each story of
sorrow & pain comes one of hope & courage. As we
move forward, all of us have an opportunity to become better
people & to learn valuable lessons about heroism, love
& compassion.
As we mourn those who died, let us remember that as Americans,
we can be proud & confident that we live in a country
that symbolizes freedom & opportunity to millions throughout
the world. Our nation is strong, & our people resilient.
We have a well-earned reputation for pulling together in
the worst of times to help each other.
I send my best wishes & my hope that you will always
take care of your family, friends, neighbors & those
in need.
Sincerely,
Laura Bush
