Like George Bush before him, Obama stepped up and made a beautiful speech in memory of those lost in a national tragedy. Hot Air pointed to one of the most powerful sections of the speech:
For history is filled with heroes. You may remember the stories of a grandfather who marched across Europe; an uncle who fought in Vietnam; a sister who served in the Gulf. But as we honor the many generations who have served, I think all of us — every single American — must acknowledge that this generation has more than proved itself the equal of those who have come before.
We need not look to the past for greatness, because it is before our very eyes.
Skip to 11:18 for the beginning of “for history is filled”.
