同志们,朋友们:
今天,我们在这里庄严集会,纪念四川汶川特大地震一周年,向在地震灾害中不幸罹难的同胞们、向为夺取抗震救灾斗争重大胜利而英勇献身的烈士们表达我们的深切思念。
2008年5月12日14时28分,我国发生了震惊世界的四川汶川特大地震,受灾地区人民生命财产和经济社会发展蒙受巨大损失。面对空前惨烈的灾难,在党中央、国务院和中央军委坚强领导下,全党全军全国各族人民众志成城、迎难而上,以惊人的意志、勇气、力量,组织开展了我国历史上救援速度最快、动员范围最广、投入力量最大的抗震救灾斗争,最大限度地挽救了受灾群众生命,最大限度地减低了灾害造成的损失,夺取了抗震救灾斗争重大胜利,表现出泰山压顶不弯腰的大无畏气概,谱写了感天动地的英雄凯歌。
我们按照以人为本、尊重自然、统筹兼顾、科学重建的原则,科学制定灾后恢复重建规划,迅速出台一系列支援灾区的政策措施,积极开展对口支援,迅速组织开展灾后恢复重建工作。在中央大力支持、灾区广大干部群众艰苦奋斗、全国人民大力支援下,城乡居民住房重建、学校医院等公共服务设施重建、基础设施恢复重建、产业重建和结构调整、历史文化保护、生态修复等方面均取得显著成绩,灾后恢复重建取得重要阶段性成果,灾区人民正大踏步走向新生活。这一切,为夺取抗震救灾斗争全面胜利奠定了坚实基础。
在抗震救灾和灾后恢复重建中,举国上下同心协力,海内外同胞和衷共济,充分展现了中华民族团结奋斗的民族品格和风雨同舟的强大力量。抗震救灾和灾后恢复重建取得的成绩,必将鼓舞全国各族人民满怀信心地把改革开放和社会主义现代化事业继续推向前进。
在这里,我代表党中央、国务院和中央军委,向在抗震救灾和灾后恢复重建第一线英勇奋战的广大干部群众,人民解放军指战员、武警部队官兵、民兵预备役人员和公安民警,向大力支持抗震救灾和灾后恢复重建的全国各条战线的广大干部群众,各民主党派、工商联和无党派人士、各人民团体以及社会各界,向踊跃为灾区提供援助的香港同胞、澳门同胞、台湾同胞以及海外华侨华人,致以崇高的敬意!
我们的抗震救灾和灾后恢复重建得到了众多国家的领导人、政府、政党、社会团体和驻华使馆,联合国有关组织和一些国际机构、外资企业以及国际友好人士的真诚同情和宝贵支持。在这里,我代表中国政府和中国人民,再一次向他们表示衷心的感谢!
同志们、朋友们!
当前,我国正处在应对国际金融危机冲击、保持经济平稳较快发展的关键时刻。在前进道路上,我们要以邓小平理论和“三个代表”重要思想为指导,深入贯彻落实科学发展观,大力弘扬伟大抗震救灾精神,全面推进社会主义经济建设、政治建设、文化建设、社会建设以及生态文明建设和党的建设,奋力夺取抗震救灾斗争全面胜利,为实现党的十七大描绘的宏伟蓝图而团结奋斗。
我们要继续扎扎实实推动经济社会又好又快发展。改革开放以来我国不断增强的综合国力,是我们战胜四川汶川特大地震灾害的坚实物质基础,也是我们应对各种困难和挑战的坚实物质基础。我们要牢牢坚持发展是硬道理的战略思想,把保持经济平稳较快发展作为经济工作的首要任务,认真落实进一步扩大内需、促进经济平稳较快发展的一揽子计划,全力做好保增长、保民生、保稳定各项工作,努力夺取经济社会发展新胜利。
我们要继续扎扎实实推进灾后恢复重建工作。做好灾后恢复重建工作,关系灾区群众根本利益,关系灾区长远发展。当前,灾后恢复重建任务仍十分繁重。我们要全面落实中央关于灾后恢复重建的方针政策和工作部署,加大力度,加快速度,攻坚克难,力争用两年时间基本完成原定3年的目标任务。要坚持以人为本,以解决民生问题为重点,优先恢复群众基本生活条件和公共服务设施,确保受灾群众早日住上永久性住房,全面恢复和提高教育、医疗卫生、文化体育等公共服务水平,大力提高基础设施保障能力,积极促进特色优势产业发展,努力建设人民安居乐业、城乡共同繁荣、人与自然和谐相处的幸福美好新家园。要继续全力做好对口支援工作,同时要坚持自力更生、艰苦创业,引领灾区广大干部群众依靠自己的双手创造美好生活。要加强对抗震救灾和灾后恢复重建资金物资的监管,确保工程建设质量。
我们要继续扎扎实实加强防灾减灾工作。提高防灾减灾能力,是保护人民生命财产安全的必然要求,也是人类社会共同面临的重大课题。要坚持兴利除害结合、防灾减灾并重、治标治本兼顾、政府社会协同,全面提高对自然灾害的综合防范和抵御能力。要加强防灾减灾领域及国际人道主义援助等方面的国际交流合作,为人类防范和抵御自然灾害作出积极贡献。
同志们、朋友们!
抗震救灾和灾后恢复重建的伟大实践再一次告诉我们,团结就是力量,拼搏才能胜利。全党全军全国各族人民要更加紧密地团结起来,勇敢战胜前进道路上的一切困难和风险,全面做好各项工作,以优异成绩迎接新中国成立60周年。
奥巴马的演讲
“我们在这里,怀念29位美国人:卡尔.阿克德、杰森.阿金斯、克里斯多佛.贝尔、格利高里.史蒂夫.布洛克、肯尼斯.艾伦.查普曼、罗伯特.克拉克、查尔斯.蒂莫西.戴维斯、克里.戴维斯、迈克尔.李.埃尔斯维克、威廉.I.格里菲斯、史蒂芬.哈拉、爱德华.迪恩.琼斯、理查德.K.雷恩、威廉姆.罗斯威尔特.林奇、尼古拉斯.达利尔. 麦考斯基、乔.马克姆、罗纳德.李.梅尔、詹姆斯.E.姆尼、亚当.基斯.摩根、雷克斯.L.姆林斯、乔什.S.纳皮尔、霍华德.D.佩恩、迪拉德.厄尔.波辛格、乔尔.R.普莱斯、迪华德.斯科特、加里.考拉斯、格罗佛.戴尔.斯金斯、本尼.威灵汉姆以及里奇.沃克曼。” 无论我、副总统、州长,或是今天致悼词的任何一个人,都不能说出任何话语,可以填补你们因痛失亲人心中的创伤。如果有任何可以找得到的安慰,也许只能从上帝那里寻找得到,上帝安慰我们痛苦的头脑,修复破碎的心灵,减轻我们哀痛的内心。
我们怎忍让他们失望?一个依赖矿工的国家怎能不尽全力履行职责保护他们?我们的国家怎能容忍人们仅因工作就付出生命;难道仅仅是因为他们追求美国梦吗?
我们不能让29条逝去的生命回来。他们此刻与主同在。我们在这里的任务,就是防止有生命再在这样的悲剧中逝去。去做我们必须做的,无论个人或是集体,去确保矿下的安全,向他们对待彼此那样对待我们的矿工,如同一家人。因为我们是一家人,我们都是美国人。我们必须要彼此依靠,守望彼此,爱护彼此,为彼此祈福祈祷。

The Vice President offered his sympathies first:
To every member of every family that has been touched by this tragedy, I can say that I know what it’s like to lose a spouse and a child.
And I also know when the tributes are done and the flags are once again flying at full-staff, once the miners you see today go back to work, that's when it will be the hardest for you all. When life has moved on around us, but is yet to stir within you, that's when you're most going to need one another.
He concluded his remarks saying, "I can tell you from my own personal experience that eventually the painful heartache you feel will be replaced by the joyful memory of the ones you love so dearly.

The President's remarks in full:
We’re here to memorialize 29 Americans:
Carl Acord. Jason Atkins. Christopher Bell. Gregory Steven Brock. Kenneth Allan Chapman. Robert Clark. Charles Timothy Davis. Cory Davis. Michael Lee Elswick. William I. Griffith. Steven Harrah. Edward Dean Jones. Richard K. Lane. William Roosevelt Lynch. Nicholas Darrell McCroskey. Joe Marcum. Ronald Lee Maynor. James E. Mooney. Adam Keith Morgan. Rex L. Mullins. Joshua S. Napper. Howard D. Payne. Dillard Earl Persinger. Joel R. Price. Deward Scott. Gary Quarles. Grover Dale Skeens. Benny Willingham. And Ricky Workman. Nothing I, or the Vice President, or the Governor, none of the speakers here today, nothing we say can fill the hole they leave in your hearts, or the absence that they leave in your lives.
If any comfort can be found, it can, perhaps, be found by seeking the face of God -- (applause) -- who quiets our troubled minds, a God who mends our broken hearts, a God who eases our mourning souls. Even as we mourn 29 lives lost, we also remember 29 lives lived.
Up at 4:30 a.m., 5:00 in the morning at the latest, they began their day, as they worked, in darkness. In coveralls and hard-toe boots, a hardhat over their heads, they would sit quietly for their hour-long journey, five miles into a mountain, the only light the lamp on their caps, or the glow from the mantrip they rode in. Day after day, they would burrow into the coal, the fruits of their labor, what so often we take for granted:
the electricity that lights up a convention center; that lights up our church or our home, our school, our office; the energy that powers our country; the energy that powers the world. (Applause.) And most days they’d emerge from the dark mine, squinting at the light.
Most days, they’d emerge, sweaty and dirty and dusted from coal. Most days, they’d come home. But not that day. These men -– these husbands, fathers, grandfathers, brothers sons, uncles, nephews -– they did not take on their job unaware of the perils.
Some of them had already been injured; some of them had seen a friend get hurt. So they understood there were risks. And their families did, too. They knew their kids would say a prayer at night before they left. They knew their wives would wait for a call when their shift ended saying everything was okay. They knew their parents felt a pang of fear every time a breaking news alert came on, or the radio cut in. But they left for the mines anyway -– some, having waited all their lives to be miners; having longed to follow in the footsteps of their fathers and their grandfathers.
And yet, none of them did it for themselves alone. All that hard work, all that hardship, all the time spent underground, it was all for the families.
It was all for you. For a car in the driveway, a roof overhead. For a chance to give their kids opportunities that they would never know, and enjoy retirement with their spouses. It was all in the hopes of something better. And so these miners lived -– as they died -– in pursuit of the American Dream. There, in the mines, for their families, they became a family themselves -– sharing birthdays, relaxing together, watching Mountaineers football or basketball together, spending days off together, hunting or fishing.
They may not have always loved what they did, said a sister, but they loved doing it together. They loved doing it as a family. They loved doing it as a community. That’s a spirit that’s reflected in a song that almost every American knows.
But it’s a song most people, I think, would be surprised was actually written by a coal miner’s son about this town, Beckley, about the people of West Virginia. It’s the song, Lean on Me -– an anthem of friendship, but also an anthem of community, of coming together. That community was revealed for all to see in the minutes, and hours, and days after the tragedy.
Rescuers, risking their own safety, scouring narrow tunnels saturated with methane and carbon monoxide, hoping against hope they might find a survivor. Friends keeping porch lights on in a nightly vigil; hanging up homemade signs that read, “Pray for our miners, and their families.” Neighbors consoling each other, and supporting each other and leaning on one another. I’ve seen it, the strength of that community.
In the days that followed the disaster, emails and letters poured into the White House. Postmarked from different places across the country, they often began the same way: “I am proud to be from a family of miners.” “I am the son of a coal miner.” “I am proud to be a coal miner’s daughter.” (Applause.) They were always proud, and they asked me to keep our miners in my thoughts, in my prayers. Never forget, they say, miners keep America’s lights on. (Applause.) And then in these letters, they make a simple plea: Don’t let this happen again. (Applause.) Don't let this happen again. How can we fail them?
How can a nation that relies on its miners not do everything in its power to protect them? How can we let anyone in this country put their lives at risk by simply showing up to work; by simply pursuing the American Dream? We cannot bring back the 29 men we lost.
They are with the Lord now. Our task, here on Earth, is to save lives from being lost in another such tragedy; to do what must do, individually and collectively, to assure safe conditions underground -- (applause) -- to treat our miners like they treat each other -- like a family. (Applause.) Because we are all family and we are all Americans. (Applause.) And we have to lean on one another, and look out for one another, and love one another, and pray for one another. There’s a psalm that comes to mind today -– a psalm that comes to mind, a psalm we often turn to in times of heartache.
“Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for You are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.”
God bless our miners.
(Applause.) God bless their families. God bless West Virginia. (Applause.) And God bless the United States of America. (Applause.)
