Souvenir typescript of President Bush’s statement on September 11, 2001, two pages, 5.5 x 9, signed at the conclusion in black felt tip. In part: “Today, our fellow citizens, our way of life, our very freedom came under attack in a series of deliberate and deadly terrorist acts. The victims were in airplanes or in their offices—secretaries, business men and women, military and federal workers. Moms and dads. Friends and neighbors. Thousands of lives were suddenly ended by evil, despicable acts of terror. The pictures of airplanes flying into buildings, fires burning, huge structures collapsing, have filled us with disbelief, terrible sadness and a quiet, unyielding anger. These acts of mass murder were intended to frighten our nation into chaos and retreat. But they have failed. Our country is strong.” In fine condition, with a PSA/DNA label affixed to the lower corner of the second page. Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from PSA/DNA. RR Auction COA.
