Bush’s first pitch after 9/11 became a national statement…
In the weeks after 9/11, the nation was raw with grief, fear, and uncertainty. Then came a moment that many still remember: President Bush’s first pitch at Yankee Stadium during the 2001 World Series.
When he walked to the mound, chants of “USA” rang out—not as division, but of defiance. That single strike across the plate carried a message: America would not fold. Life would continue, even in the shadow of terror.
Moments like this remind us: in times of crisis, we look to one another—and to our leaders—for steadiness and courage. That night, the roar of the crowd wasn’t about party lines. It was about resilience, solidarity, and the refusal to be broken.
