This gallery contains 60 photographs taken on September 11, 2001, when President George W. Bush participated in a reading demonstration at Emma E. Booker Elementary School in Sarasota, Florida, through October 30, 2001 when the President threw out the ceremonial first pitch at Yankee Stadium before Game Three of the World Series. These photos focus on the 9/11 terrorist attacks and the President's leadership during that terrible time in our nation's history.
