9/11 rewind: A look at front pages of newspapers following that ‘day of terror’

On the eve of the 15th anniversary of the September 11 terror attacks in the United States, President Barack Obama urged Americans to stand as a united force in the face of terrorism.  “In the face of terrorism, how we respond matters,” Obama said in his weekly radio and online address, “We cannot give in to those who would divide us. We cannot react in ways that erode the fabric of our society,” he added.

“Because it’s our diversity, our welcoming of all talent, our treating of everybody fairly-no matter their race, gender, ethnicity, or faith-that’s part of what makes our country great. It’s what makes us resilient,” Obama said. “And if we stay true to those values, we’ll uphold the legacy of those we’ve lost, and keep our nation strong and free.” Evoking “one of the darkest in our nation’s history,” Obama noted that much had changed over the past 15 years since the attacks. “We delivered justice to (Al Qaeda leader) Osama bin Laden. We’ve strengthened our homeland security. We’ve prevented attacks. We’ve saved lives,” Obama said.
