On the 22nd anniversary of the September 11th attacks, 45th President Donald Trump issued a solemn video to remember the 2,977 people lost on that tragic morning in lower Manhattan, Washington, D.C., and Pennsylvania.
“No one who lived through the horror of the September 11th terrorist attacks can ever forget the agony and anguish of that terrible day, it was a terrible day,” Trump began. “The images of dark plumes of smoke billowing over lower Manhattan, the Pentagon, and a field in Pennsylvania, such a beautiful field, are seared into our minds forever.”
“We will never forget,” the New York City real estate mogul continued. “Today on this solemn anniversary of those monstrous attacks, we remember the 2,977 precious souls who were savagely taken from us on that morning 22 years ago leaving a void that can never be filled.”
“No matter what happens it can never be filled,” he reiterated. “We will say a prayer for each of the beautiful families they left behind whose pain is beyond comprehension.”
“What they’ve gone through is not even believable,” Trump, who was in New York on the day of the attack, explained. “We honor the firefighters, the great New York PD, the police department – what great people they are, they are so great. And the port authority officers, the Virginia, D.C., and Pentagon police, and the military service members and other first responders actually all over the country, they acted with supreme heroism and they went to the site of the most heinous crime.”
“They would leave other states far away and go to the World Trade Center site, the Pentagon, they’d go to Pennsylvania and in many cases gave their lives in the line of duty,” Trump added. “God bless the memory of all of those who perished in the 9/11 attacks.”
“We will never, ever forget. We will never forget you. We love you. God bless their families and God bless America,” President Trump concluded.
