President Bush leads nation in remembering, honoring victims of
terrorist attacks on US

President Dick Cheney and his wife Lynne Cheney, right, observe a
moment of silence on the South Lawn of the White HousePresident Bush
is leading the nation in remembering and honoring the victims of the
September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the United States. Americans
marked the passing of four years with prayers, and quiet reflection.

September 11, 2005, dawned bright and clear, much like the morning
four years ago that forever changed the nation and the world.

At 8:46 a.m., the moment the first of four hijacked airliners slammed
into its target - the World Trade Center in New York, Americans paused
to remember, to mourn, and to honor the almost 3,000 victims who died
in New York, at the Pentagon, and in a field in Pennsylvania.

President Bush led a moment of silence on the south lawn of the White
House, with the first lady and other dignitaries at his side. There
were no words uttered, just the sound of a lone bugler nearby.

Earlier in the day, the president attended a private service at a
neighborhood church, and later there would be ceremonies and a
memorial march through the nation's capital, led by Pentagon
officials.

But at the exact moment the terrorist attacks began, there was nothing
but a respectful quiet at the White House, a time to remember the
horrors of September 11, 2001.
