"The security measures incorporated into our lives are both sources of comfort and reminders of our vulnerability," he said."In the weeks and months following the 9/11 attacks, I was proud to lead an amazing, resilient, united people."
He said that U.S. citizens found it difficult to understand"when an enemy would hate with such zeal" and added that the country's adjustments"have been profound." On Saturday, President Biden praised Bush's speech and pointed out that the core of Americans"is not divided," referring to the former president's call for unity when he was honoring the victims of 9/11.
"I think that [former] President Bush did a really good speech, a genuinely good speech about who we are," Biden said. President Biden: "President Bush made a really good speech today, genuinely good speech about who we are."
