President Barack Obama said that while al-Qaeda will “keep trying to hit us again” the U.S. is better prepared for a terrorist attack ten years after the Sept. 11 anniversary than ever before.
“Ten years ago, ordinary Americans showed us the true meaning of courage when they rushed up those stairwells, into those flames, into that cockpit,” Obama said in his weekly radio and Internet address. “In the decade since, a new generation has stepped forward to serve and keep us safe.”
The president said the U.S. will “remain vigilant” and “no matter what comes our way, as a resilient nation, we will carry on.”
