On November 8 , 2001 , President George W. Bush made a speech at the GWCC in which he exhorted the crowd of police , firefighters , and politicians , " My fellow Americans , Let 's roll ! " , He was invoking the last words of Todd Beamer , a passenger on United Airlines Flight 93 ( one of the flights hijacked on September 11 , 2001 ) , who was one of the participants in an attempt to storm the cockpit and wrest control of the airplane from the hijackers . He would use the words again in the 2002 State of the Union address : " For too long our culture has said , ' If it feels good , do it . ' Now America is embracing a new ethic and a new creed : ' Let 's roll . ' " The center also hosted the 2009 Soul Train Music Awards , the first held outside of the Los Angeles area
