“Scripture says: "Blessed are those who mourn for they shall be comforted." I call on every American family and the family of America to observe a National Day of Prayer and Remembrance, honoring the memory of the thousands of victims of these brutal attacks and comforting those who lost loved ones. We will persevere through this national tragedy and personal loss. In time, we will find healing and recovery; and, in the face of all this evil, we remain strong and united, "one Nation under God."” HumorAmericaFacesPoliticalEvilLostStrongNationsMemoriesPrayerLossUnitedHealingTragedyVictimBlessedScriptureRecoveryLoved OnesLost LoveBrutalRemembranceComfortingPersevereMournPolitical HumorAmerican FamilyOne Nation Under GodBlessed Are ThoseLost Loved OnesNational Day Of PrayerPersonal Loss Author:George W.
