Remarks By President Bush, December 2001, At The
Lighting Of The National Christmas Tree
I want to thank Santa Clause for being here tonight.
(Laughter and applause.)
I've been looking for you, Santa !!
(Laughter.)
It is now my honor to invite Leon Patterson and
Faith Elseth and Laura to join me up here as we
light the National Christmas Tree.
(Applause.)
Leon and Faith's fathers, Major Clifford Patterson,
and Lt. Commander Robert Elseth served in the
United States military. Both of these good men
were lost in the attack on the Pentagon.
Leon and Faith, we thank you for helping us
celebrate Christmas.
You remind us of the comfort of Christmas that
hope never fails, and love never ends.
