President Barack Obama and George W. Bush led a tribute on Sunday in New York City for the victims who died in the attacks on September 11, 2001. They spoke near the 9/11 Memorial fountains, which were built on the footprints of the World Trade Center towers. Family and friends of the nearly 3,000 victims of the strikes on the Twin Towers read out the names of the victims. President Obama quoted a passage from the Bible.
President Obama: “Be still and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations. I will be exalted in the earths. The Lord of Hosts is with us. The God of Jacob is our refuge.”
