"To
our people, we need you. We need your voice and we need your support. We
are committed to doing all we can on your behalf, but you too must be a
part of this rebuilding. Neither I, nor anyone on my team, will ever
ask more of you than we are willing to give. My Administration cannot do
this alone; we must stand together or none of us will stand at all."
