George W. Bush signed souvenir 9/11 speech, the address delivered to the nation from the Oval Office the evening of the attack, uniting the American people together at one of her darkest moments.
Speech reads 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...Thousands of lives were suddenly ended by evil, despicable acts of terror. The pictures of airplanes flying into buildings, fires burning, huge -- 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...''
Speech is printed on two sheets, the first on mock White House stationery. Each measures 5.125'' x 8.25''. Near fine condition, with a bold black felt-tip signature by President Bush. With Beckett COA.
