America grieves with you: Bush to twin towers families

President George W Bush today sent Christmas greetings to US troops fighting the war on terrorism and to families who lost loved ones in the September 11 attacks. ‘‘America grieves with you,’’ he said.

‘‘During this time of conflict and challenge, Christmas is a day on which we celebrate hope and joy; when our thoughts turn to justice and compassion, and to a Prince of Peace born long ago,’’ the president said during a holiday message offered to radio stations.
