===Government=== [[File:US Navy 020906-N-1995M-001 USS Belleau Wood remembers Sept. 11, 2001 with special formation on flight deck.jpg|thumb|Sailors and Marines onboard {{USS|Belleau Wood|LHA-3}} spelling out the quote "Let's Roll".]] [[File:WI IMG 6012 (5521951716) (1).jpg|thumb|Pro-[[trade union]] protester during the [[2011 Wisconsin protests]] holds a sign with the phrase]] * The phrase became especially known and popular after being used by President [[George W. Bush]] in a speech to [[AmeriCorps]] volunteers and during his 2002 [[State of the Union address]]. Even though the phrase was in common use long before September 11, many soon tried to lay claim to it as a [[trademark]]. The [[Todd M. Beamer Foundation]] was eventually granted a trademark for uses of the phrase relating to "pre-recorded compact discs, audio tapes, digital audio tapes, and phonograph records featuring music." * In early 2002, [[United States Air Force]] [[Air Force Chief of Staff|Chief of Staff]] Gen. John P. Jumper ordered that one airplane in each USAF squadron and all USAF demonstration planes would bear an image of an eagle on an American flag with the words "Let's Roll" and "Spirit of 9-11", to remain until the first anniversary of the attack. It was also used by Lisa Beamer, widow of Todd, in a 2003 book titled ''Let's Roll: Ordinary People, Extraordinary Courage''.<ref>{{cite book | isbn=0-8423-7418-3 | title=Let's Roll!: Ordinary People, Extraordinary Courage | last1=Beamer | first1=Lisa | last2=Abraham | first2=Ken | year=2002 | publisher=Tyndale House Publishers }}</ref>
