1、2023年美国经典英文演讲100篇Oklahoma Bombing Memorial Addre William Jefferson Clinton Oklahoma Bombing Memorial Prayer Service Addre delivered 23 April 1995 in Oklahoma City, OK AUTHENTICITY CERTIFIED: Text version below transcribed directly from audio.(2) Thank you very much, Governor Keating and Mrs.Keating,

2、 Reverend Graham, to the families of those who have been lost and wounded, to the people of Oklahoma City, who have endured so much, and the people of this wonderful state, to all of you who are here as our fellow Americans.I am honored to be here today to represent the American people.But I have to

3、 tell you that Hillary and I also come as parents, as husband and wife, as people who were your neighbors for some of the best years of our lives.Today our nation joins with you in grief.We mourn with you.We share your hope against hope that some may still survive.We thank all those who have worked

4、so heroically to save lives and to solve this crime - those here in Oklahoma and those who are all acro this great land, and many who left their own lives to come here to work hand in hand with you.We pledge to do all we can to help you heal the injured, to rebuild this city, and to bring to justice

5、 those who did this evil.This terrible sin took the lives of our American family, innocent children in that building, only because their parents were trying to be good parents as well as good workers; citizens in the building going about their daily busine; and many there who served the rest of us -

6、 who worked to help the elderly and the disabled, who worked to support our farmers and our veterans, who worked to enforce our laws and to protect us.Let us say clearly, they served us well, and we are grateful.But for so many of you they were also neighbors and friends.You saw them at church or th

7、e PTA meetings, at the civic clubs, at the ball park.You know them in ways that all the rest of America could not.And to all the members of the families here present who have suffered lo, though we share your grief, your pain is unimaginable, and we know that.We cannot undo it.That is Gods work.Our

8、words seem small beside the lo you have endured.But I found a few I wanted to share today.Ive received a lot of letters in these last terrible days.One stood out because it came from a young widow and a mother of three whose own husband was murdered with over 200 other Americans when Pan Am 103 was

9、shot down.Here is what that woman said I should say to you today: The anger you feel is valid, but you must not allow yourselves to be consumed by it.The hurt you feel must not be allowed to turn into hate, but instead into the search for justice.The lo you feel must not paralyze your own lives.Inst

10、ead, you must try to pay tribute to your loved ones by continuing to do all the things they left undone, thus ensuring they did not die in vain.Wise words from one who also knows.You have lost too much, but you have not lost everything.And you have certainly not lost America, for we will stand with

11、you for as many tomorrows as it takes.If ever we needed evidence of that, I could only recall the words of Governor and Mrs.Keating: If anybody thinks that Americans are mostly mean and selfish, they ought to come to Oklahoma.If anybody thinks Americans have lost the capacity for love and caring and

12、 courage, they ought to come to Oklahoma. To all my fellow Americans beyond this hall, I say, one thing we owe those who have sacrificed is the duty to purge ourselves of the dark forces which gave rise to this evil.They are forces that threaten our common peace, our freedom, our way of life.Let us

13、teach our children that the God of comfort is also the God of righteousne: Those who trouble their own house will inherit the wind. Justice will prevail.Let us let our own children know that we will stand against the forces of fear.When there is talk of hatred, let us stand up and talk against it.Wh

14、en there is talk of violence, let us stand up and talk against it.In the face of death, let us honor life.As St.Paul admonished us, Let us not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. Yesterday, Hillary and I had the privilege of speaking with some children of other federal employees - chil

15、dren like those who were lost here.And one little girl said something we will never forget.She said, We should all plant a tree in memory of the children. So this morning before we got on the plane to come here, at the White House, we planted that tree in honor of the children of Oklahoma.It was a d

16、ogwood with its wonderful spring flower and its deep, enduring roots.It embodies the leon of the Psalms - that the life of a good person is like a tree whose leaf does not wither. My fellow Americans, a tree takes a long time to grow, and wounds take a long time to heal.But we must begin.Those who a

17、re lost now belong to God.Some day we will be with them.But until that happens, their legacy must be our lives.Thank you all, and God ble you. 美国经典英文演讲100篇Oklahoma Bombing Memorial Addre 美国经典英文演讲100篇Oklahoma_Bombing_Memorial_Addre 美国经典英文演讲100篇Cambodian Incursion Addre 美国经典英文演讲100篇1980 DNC Addre 美国经典英文演讲100篇1992_DNC_Addre 美国经典英文演讲100篇1988_DNC_Addre 美国经典英文演讲100篇Addre_on_Taking_the_Oath_of_Office 美国经典英文演讲100篇Addre_on_Taking_the_Oath_of_Office 美国经典英文演讲100篇 经典英文演讲100篇18Farewell Addre
