self-discipline.Like Bill Iffrig, 78 years old, the runner in the orange
tank-top who we all saw get knocked down by the blast, we
may be momentarily knocked off our feet, but we'll pick ourselves up.We'll
keep going. We will finish the race.(APPLAUSE)In the words of Dick Hoyt,
who's pushed his disabled son Rick in 31 Boston Marathons, we can't
let something like this stop us.(APPLAUSE)This doesn't stop us.(APPLAUSE)And
that's what you've taught us, Boston. That's what you've reminded us, to
push on, to persevere, to not grow weary, to not get faint,
even when it hurts. Even when our heart aches, we summon the
strength that maybe we didn't even know we had and we carry

because of who we are. And we do that because we know

of build and think somehow that makes them important, that's what they
don't understand. Our faith in each other, our love for each other,
our love for country, our common creed that cuts across whatever

of being a looter was spotting running from a damaged home."The town
is secure," Swanton added.The U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms
and Explosives is sending a national response team to the site. ATF
spokeswoman Franceska Perot said Thursday the unit includes fire investigators,
explosives experts, chemists and canine units.The main fire was under control
as of 11 p.m., Texas Department of Public Safety spokesman D.L. Wilson
said, but residents were urged to remain indoors because of the threat
of new explosions or leaks of ammonia from the plant's ruins.Dozens of
emergency vehicles amassed at the scene in the hours after the blast,
as fires continued to smolder in the ruins of the plant and
in several surrounding buildings. Aerial footage showed injured people being
treated on the flood-lit football field that had been turned into a
staging area.Vanek said first-responders treated victims at about half a
dozen sites, and he saw several injured residents from the nursing home
being treated at the community center. Swanton said early Thursday morning
the injured were being taken to hospitals in Waco and a triage
center at high school in nearby Abbott.At least three people were in
