[0:13] >> From relatives of the victims to the

[0:17] together to remember that day 7 years

[0:22] I'm Katie Couric. Also tonight, getting
[0:24] out of the way.
[0:26] Texans start evacuating coastal areas as
[0:28] Hurricane Ike approaches. The governor
[0:31] says he cannot overestimate the danger.

[1:47] Meanwhile, in the presidential campaign,
[1:49] this day was not about political
[1:51] differences, but national unity. Dean
