what is the tone of this speech?

Question

anonymous · Answer

After all that has just passed, all the lives taken, and all the possibilities and hopes that died with them, it is natural to wonder if America´s future is one of fear. Some speak of an age of terror. I know there are struggles ahead, and dangers to face. But this country will define our times, not be defined by them. As long as the United States of America is determined and strong, this will not be an age of terror; this will be an age of liberty, here and across the world. 

 Great harm has been done to us. We have suffered great loss. And in our grief and anger we have found our mission and our moment. Freedom and fear are at war. The advance of human freedom, the great achievement of our time, and the great hope of every time, now depends on us. Our nation, this generation, will lift a dark threat of violence from our people and our future. We will rally the world to this cause, by our efforts and by our courage. We will not tire, we will not falter, and we will not fail. 

 It is my hope that in the months and years ahead, life will return almost to normal. We´ll go back to our lives and routines, and that is good. Even grief recedes with time and grace. But our resolve must not pass. Each of us will remember what happened that day, and to whom it happened. We will remember the moment the news came, where we were and what we were doing. Some will remember an image of fire, or a story of rescue. Some will carry memories of a face and a voice gone forever.

This speech is/was written with the confidence that though the war had been hard and many lives were lost, it will not set America back. Instead it will push it forward. I'd say this piece has a tone of determination. That this is not then end but the beginning.
