Bush urges unity as Katrina anniversary echoes 9/11
President Bush said the Gulf Coast will emerge stronger, invoking the 9/11 attacks as he marks the fourth anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. He urged Americans to help recovery through the USA Freedom Corps while noting the disaster’s impact and comparing it to past tragedies. He framed Katrina as a natural disaster driven by water and wind, not malice.
