[Transcript] – THE PRESIDENT: Thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you, David, very much. It’s a great honor to be with you.
Nineteen years ago, on this day, at this very hour, on this field, 40 brave men and women triumphed over terror and gave their lives in defense of our nation. Their names and their stories are forever inscribed on the eternal roll call of American heroes.
Today, we pay tribute to their sacrifice, and we mourn deeply for the nearly 3,000 precious and beautiful souls who were taken from us on September 11th, 2001.
To the family members of Flight 93: Today, every heartbeat in America is wedded to yours. Your pain and anguish is the shared grief of our whole nation. The memory of your treasured loved ones will inspire America for all time to come.
The heroes of Flight 93 are an everlasting reminder that no matter the danger, no matter the threat, no matter the odds, America will always rise up, stand tall, and fight back.
To every 9/11 member all across this nation: The First Lady and I come to this hallowed ground deeply aware that we cannot fill the void in your heart or erase the terrible sorrow of this day. The agony renewed, the nightmare relived, the wounds reopened, the last treasured words played over and over again in your minds.
But while we cannot erase your pain, we can help to shoulder your burden. We promise that unwavering love that you so want and need, support, devotion — and the very special devotion — of all Americans.
On that September morning, when America was under attack, the battle turned in the skies above this field. Soon after taking off from Newark, New Jersey, radical Islamic terrorists seized control of United 93. Other hijacked planes struck the North Tower of the World Trade Center, and then the South Tower, and then the Pentagon.
The terrorists on Flight 93 had a fourth target in mind. It was called: our nation’s capital. They were just 20 minutes away from reaching their sinister objective. The only thing that stood between the enemy and a deadly strike at the heart of American democracy was the courage and resolve of 40 men and women — the amazing passengers and crew of Flight 93.
Donald and Jean Peterson were grandparents traveling to vacation in California. Deora Bodley was a student headed back to college. Richard Guadagno was returning from celebrating his grandmother’s 100th birthday. Lauren Catuzzi Grandcolas was three months pregnant with her first child. Every passenger and crewmember on the plane had a life filled with love and joy, friends and family, radiant hopes and limitless dreams.
When the plane was hijacked, they called their families and learned that America was also under attack. Then they faced the most fateful moment of their lives.
Through the heartache and the tears, they prayed to God, they placed their last calls home, they whispered the immortal words, “I love you.” Today, those words ring out across these sacred grounds, and they shine down on us from Heaven above.
When terrorists raced to destroy the seat of our democracy, the 40 of Flight 93 did the most American of things: They took a vote, and then they acted. Together, they charged the cockpit, they confronted the pure evil, and in their last act on this Earth, they saved our capital.
In this Pennsylvania field, the 40 intrepid souls of Flight 93 died as true heroes. Their momentous deeds will outlive us all.
In the days and weeks after 9/11, citizens of all faiths, backgrounds, colors, and creeds came together, prayed together, mourned together, and rebuilt together.
The song “God Bless America” became a rallying cry for the nation. We were united by our conviction that America was the world’s most exceptional country, blessed with the most incredible heroes, and that this was a land worth defending with our very last breath. It was a unity based on love for our families, care for our neighbors, loyalty to our fellow citizens, pride in our great flag, gratitude for our police and first responders, faith in God, and a refusal to bend our will to the depraved forces of violence, intimidation, oppression, and evil.
In New York, Arlington, and Shanksville, people raced into the suffocating smoke and rubble. At Ground Zero, the world witnessed the miracle of American courage and sacrifice. As ash rained down, police officers, first responders, and firefighters ran into the fires of hell.
On that day, more than 400 first responders gave their lives, including 23 New York City police officers, 37 Port Authority workers, and 343 New York City firefighters. Today, we honor their extraordinary sacrifice and every first responder who keeps America safe.
With us today is David DeMato, a retired Chicago police officer and a current officer of the Navy Reserves. On 9/11, he drove from Chicago to Ground Zero. As David says, “While the sights and smells of working at Ground Zero will forever be etched in my mind, what is more profound is the way this country came together afterwards. The police officers and firemen were revered as the heroes they truly are; the military was appreciated in a manner not seen in decades; and common people found new meaning in values like friendship, kindness, and selflessness.”
Thank you, David. Such beautiful words. And thank you to every member of law enforcement who risks their lives to ensure our safety and uphold our peace.
This morning, we also remember the 183 people who were killed in the attack on the Pentagon and the remarkable service members who crawled straight through the raging blaze to rescue their comrades.
We express our undying loyalty to the nearly 6 million young men and women who have enlisted in the United States armed forces since September 11th, 2001.
More than 7,000 military heroes have laid down their lives since 9/11 to preserve our freedom. No words can express the summit of their glory or the infinite depth of our gratitude. But we will strive every single day to repay our immeasurable debt and prove worthy of their supreme sacrifice.
America will never relent in pursuing terrorists that threaten our people. Less than one year ago, American warriors took out the savage killer and leader of ISIS, Al-Baghdadi. Soon after, our warriors ended the brutal reign of the Iranian butcher who murdered thousands of American service members. The world’s top terrorist, Qasem Soleimani, is dead.
Here in Shanksville, this community locked arms and hearts in the wake of tragedy. With us today is Chuck Wagner, a heavy equipment operator who lives just a few miles away. Very soon after the attack, Chuck helped search for the black box. He was so changed by what he experienced that he joined with several members of his church to become what they call “Ambassadors” for the 40 men and women on Flight 93.
Chuck and his neighbors learned about each person, cared for their families, and each day, rain or shine, they took shifts standing vigil over their final resting place.
Long before this place was a national memorial, back when it was marked by a simple wooden cross, Chuck and his fellow Ambassadors were always here waiting to tell visitors about those we lost. Nineteen years later, Chuck says his life is devoted to three things: his family, his church, and preserving the memory of the men and women of Flight 93.
To Chuck, his wife Jayne — (applause) — thank you very much. Thank you very much. To Chuck and his wife Jayne, thank you so much for being here. And to the over 40 Ambassadors with us today, please stand and receive America’s thanks. And this is a very deep thanks. Please. (Applause.) Thank you very much.
Also with us is Marine veteran Jason Thomas, from Long Island. On September 11th, Jason had just retired from the Marines. But he immediately put back on his uniform and raced into the nightmare of ash and debris. At Ground Zero, he found a fellow Marine, Dave Karnes. Together, they began to call out: “United States Marines! United States Marines! If you can hear us, yell, tap. Do whatever you can do. We’re the United States Marines.” Soon they heard a shout for help. Two police officers were trapped beneath 20 feet of rubble. Jason and Dave dug for hours on end knowing that, at any moment, the wreckage could come down on them, crushing them alive. At one point, someone told Jason to stop. Jason replied, “I’m a Marine. I don’t go back. I go forward.”
That day, Jason helped save the lives of those two officers. For years, Jason said nothing about what he did on 9/11. He did not even tell his five children. But when he saw the rescue recounted on TV, he decided to meet those officers. One of them gave him a gift: a steel cross made from a beam that Jason helped lift to free them from the hell on Earth.
As Jason said about the cross, “It means a lot. It’s a symbol of what we are as Americans. Because that day, we all came together and stood as a nation, as Americans. It didn’t matter what race you were, what religion you were. It didn’t matter. We all came together to help one another. I’d die for this country. I’d die for this country.”
Jason, thank you very much for bearing witness to the character of our nation. Jason, thank you very much. (Applause.) Thank you very much. Thank you, Jason.
The men and women of Flight 93 were mothers and fathers, sons and daughters, husbands and wives. Nothing could have prepared them for the dreadful events of that morning. But when the moment came, when history called, they did not hesitate, they did not waver. Forty towering patriots rose up, took charge, made their stand, turned the tide, and changed the course of history forever.
Our sacred task, our righteous duty, and our solemn pledge is to carry forward the noble legacy of the brave souls who gave their lives for us 19 years ago. In their memory, we resolve to stand united as one American nation, to defend our freedoms, to uphold our values, to love our neighbors, to cherish our country, to care for our communities, to honor our heroes, and to never, ever forget.
Thank you. God bless you. God bless the heroes of Flight 93. God bless all of the families. 9/11 — we’ll never forget. God bless you all, and God bless America. Thank you very much. (Applause.)
Never forget
Thank-you.
I will NOT forget it.
MAGA
None of us should EVER forget these two.
But I don’t want to be reminded of them…btw Mooch is not saying “damn flag” but “f**king flag”
He-she is a disgusting excuse for a human being and the TRAITORS who *installed* these freaks into the White House deserve the firing squad.
I was thinking more in terms of “The Mare of Steel”…since he/she is something & the other…oh well!!!!! That would be blind folded and hands tied-behind the back…
Strange, I didn’t think I could dislike M.O. any more than I already did… but I was wrong.
That wretched witch was too vile even for Biden to bring on. May she rot in eternal shame.
Retired Magistrate here: Now that is a Leader; someone who inspires all of us to be brave, fight for the country that we love, love one another and cherish our very costly freedom. We are very blessed to have him as President now and for four more years.
God bless America; God bring her people back to You.
Thank you, President Trump for speaking history that many of today’s students would never hear. They also get to contrast REAL bravery and sacrifice versus the BMLtifa rioters and multi-millionaire kneelers.
Standing Ovation!!!!
Fitting tribute.
God Bless You Sir.
Tears here.
The men and women of flight 93 enlisted in the war on terror when they took on the terrorists. I believe they should be recognized as soldiers by awarding purple hearts,
that may be true. it is also possible the plane was shot down by a u.s. fighter jet. the plane debris was certainly scattered over miles of terrain and the crash site was never excavated, a thick concrete pad was poured over it.
but to the larger question. what is to be remembered/never forgotten? the four missing black boxes, the only salvage a transcript (!!!) (not even an audio recording) of the pennsylvania cabin recorder? the fact that the “anti-hijacking” devices sold to the airlines by dov zakheim israeli rabbi/pentagon controller “didn’t work” on the fateful day? that one fuzzy picture was released from the pentagon, the most surveilled place on earth? that one small engine not two large engines was salvaged from the pentagon? that the free fall drop of building seven, never hit by planes, was announced twenty minutes early by the bbc? that the rubble from the wtc was very hot weeks and millions of gallons of water later? that molecules of nanothermite were all over ground zero?
take a long look at a good slow motion, enlarged video of buildings 1 and 2 falling and see for yourself that there are ongoing explosions occurring.
familiarize yourself with the yinon plan and see how this “new pearl harbor,” 9-11, led to the “seven countries in five years” under bush and obama (and trying hard under trump), for such wars were the motive for 9-11, not the other way around.

Are you saying the planes didn’t hit the towers?
How did this cr*p end up here?
My President and First Lady. Simply the best.
As I read this, I thought about the spoiled, entitled brats who are systematically destroying everything they can get their grubby little hands on. They don’t matter. They never have.
America and her true citizens are the ones. We will ALWAYS matter because we are those people who unhesitatingly give everything to save our fellow citizens.
Truer words never spoken . Just like those brave few who stood up to the bullies of that day , so we are going to STAND against these fools , useless idiots AND bullies on November 3rd . We will never surrender. They will regret the day they ever tried to intimidate us or destroy our faith , humanity and love of country , family and God . God bless America ! Trump 2020 !
THAT is the message from our brave leader. He has shown us the light. It is up to us to follow the light, not be lost in the darkness of the swamp. If we don’t stand up to the lawlessness on November 3rd, then we are saying that it is okay and that we will be compliant little sheep unwilling or unable to defend the freedoms we claim to revere. Like those on flight 93, we must use whatever we have at our disposal to defend our liberties. Like those who fought for our independence in the beginning of our country, we must unite against oppression and tyranny. Take a stand. Vote. Bring a friend to vote. Inform a MSM watcher of what is true by arming him/her with facts not fantasy. Be a patriot. For your children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. For this great land. God bless America.
Reading the transcript but the words keep blurring. President Trump shows once again how much he loves this country and how he’s attuned to us, patriotic Americans.
“When terrorists raced to destroy the seat of our democracy, the 40 of Flight 93 did the most American of things: They took a vote, and then they acted. Together, they charged the cockpit, they confronted the pure evil, and in their last act on this Earth, they saved our capital.” My goodness, words fail.
God bless America and God bless President Donald John Trump, his family, his staff, and his supporters. We are indeed blessed to have this man at this time.
” Let’s Roll” Last known words of 32 years old Todd Beamer as he joined other passengers in their efforts to either take back US 93 or at least to deter them from their objective. They probably saved either the US Capitol or the WhiteHouse.
Except for President Trump and a small handful of Congressmen, I remain unconvinced that the overwhelming majority of the occupants of either of those two potential target buildings in DC have lived lives and conducted their political and bureaucratic careers anywhere near being worthy of the ultimate patriotic sacrifices made on that day.
That day the government did not save the citizens, the citizens saved the government.We may soon be called to do that again, and it will take a lot more than 40.
We just said the same thing.
if obama could run crossfire hurricane, why couldn’t dick cheney, don rumsfeld and g.w. bush help the mossad run 9-11?
We cannot ever forget! Looking back 19 years ago & look what is going on in this country today.The Democrat party wants to defund the police, advance socialism/communism, anarchy & a hatred for American citizens. We cannot take our freedom for granted. Thank you President Trump & First Lady Melania for loving & fighting for this country! God Bless you & God Bless the USA??

I think that today would be a wonderful day for your Grandpa to FINALLY receive justice, young Travis!
Two years ago my husband and I traveled to Gettysburg, I wrote about it here.
On our way back we made it a point to visit the Shanksville Flight 93 Memorial. Though it was very chilly we stayed and listened to the tour guide, wanting to understand all of it.
I was fine until I read the list of names … “and unborn child” appeared numerous times. Children whose lives were extinguished before they began. Heart-breaking, expected mothers murdered in cold blood.
I’m with those who are beyond horrified that a mere seven years later an evil, America-hating Muslim was ushered into the highest office in the land, a tenure during which the number of mosques in America multiplied excessively and dangerously.
How the Muslims who hate this country and wish to conquer us must laugh at our stupidity in allowing them to infiltrate the highest and most powerful positions in this country.
Stupidity of some; treacherously evil and deliberate planning on the part of others.
And the death toll continues. I was just listening to one of the First Responders from the WTC talk about the many more who have died and are still getting sick from the fallout.
I am horrified that the “religion” of hate and rape that is still capable of this evil and worse has been normalized in our society.
Suspect that the attempts to “normalize” it were sponsored by NEO globalists as well as anti-American atheists. both of which have heavily infiltrated our government and influential institutions for several decades.
kind of puzzling how sundance sees right through crossfire hurricane but the yinon plan, pnac’s new pearl harbor, 9-11, and six yinon wars don’t seem a little suspicious. obama even started three of them.
Or maybe Sundance could say that you don’t see what you think you see.
“I’m with those who are beyond horrified that a mere seven years later an evil, America-hating Muslim was ushered into the highest office in the land, a tenure during which the number of mosques in America multiplied excessively and dangerously.”
And who spent his entire eight years in office destroying the Middle East and the culture of the United States by dividing people by racial, political, cultural and religious beliefs after so many had given their lives to unite people under the rule of law and individual rights. Where was “never again” when we encounter Obama’s evil administration?
obama was certainly an evil person. but before he killed his million muslims, george bush killed his million. Hint: they worked for the same people. that’s why the secret service didn’t have to move bush out of the schoolhouse. it wasn’t a target. and they knew it.
It was. It is. It shall be. Amen…
“Let’s Roll!” Ever since I heard Todd Beamer’s story for the first time, I have considered those words as a rallying cry worthy to be membered in the same pantheon of American defiance as, “Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead!”, “I have not yet begun to fight!”, and “Nuts!”
Just as David Farragut, John Paul Jones, and Anthony McAuliffe did when in tough situations where things were looking bleak, the men and women of Flight 93 took the fight to the enemy with everything they had. It cost them their lives, but their sacrifice saved the lives of many of their countrymen and left us yet one more proof of the indomitability of Americans in the face of daunting odds. They may have started out as unfortunate victims, but they died as heroes. Their actions left a brilliantly shining testament to American valor and love of country. May they always be remembered for their courage and unconquerable resolve!
From Wikipedia:
“Beamer, along with Mark Bingham, Tom Burnett, and Jeremy Glick, formed a plan to take the plane back from the hijackers.[9] They were joined by other passengers, including Lou Nacke, Rich Guadagno, Alan Beaven, Honor Elizabeth Wainio, Linda Gronlund, and William Cashman, along with flight attendants Sandra Bradshaw and CeeCee Lyles, in discussing their options and voting on a course of action, ultimately deciding to storm the cockpit and take over the plane.”
These brave people were thrust into a nightmare situation and agreed to take the only possible course of action. All of the passengers on Flight 93 played a role in the plan by placing trust in Todd Beamer and his comrades and not alerting the terrorists. We should never forget their heroism..
Another excellent speech very encouraging, we have a leader who knows how to build up and edify the patriots. True leadership superior to any modern day politician in a every regard.
It’s reported that Joe Benhide’n is also supposed to be there today and read some remarks if the prompter is close enough and in focus. What a great time for PDJT to wait until Joe and his care givers show up and put the opportunity to him “say Joe, since we are both here, how about we take some questions?”
#Neverforget #MAGA
Ouch…..you’re cruel……but dammit – I LOVE IT!
Not today, please. Today is sacred.
Just spoke to someone in Ligonier, PA who was at the ceremony. He was about 20 feet from Biden. Said he looks like a 100 year old man…you must have psychotic hatred of President Trump and the USA to vote for him.
My wife and I visited the Shanksville memorial in early spring a couple of years after 911, when there was nothing more than a hot dog shack and a gravel parking lot at the site. All the little memorials and flags fluttering in the snow squall that started up about the time we arrived were far more heart-rending and heart-felt than any number of heroic statues and cenotaphs could ever be.
We were there on the 10th anniversary of 9/11. The gravel parking lot was loaded with people as well as the little building that displayed a timeline of the attacks/crash. A park ranger gave a presentation and took questions. Even at the 10 year mark they were far away from completing the planned memorial. The ranger spoke to me (off to the side) and said the location was a problem/rural/no big business wanted to donate $$ without a giant billboard. Most people were milling about outside, not sure what to do.
The crash site was in the distance with a dip in the ground. I sat down on a park bench and cried. The fighting spirit is what moved me. It still moves me to this day. I’m in awe of the courage and the presence of mind the passengers had.
“said the location was a problem/rural/no big business wanted to donate $$ without a giant billboard”
Sad that without a return on investment, big corporations aren’t willing to spend their dollars recognizing true American heroes instead the Nikes of this land would rather throw our dollars behind the kneelers and anarchists. What a commentary on this country and the Socialists who seek to seize control and fundamentally transform our once great country. President Trump has been called all kinds of names by these anarchists and Socialists but not the one that they should be using. That name is patriot. Donald Trump is an American patriot. He is a leader who loves this country, who wants her citizens to be successful, who has pride in the American spirit, who recognizes this great country for her role in the world but acknowledges that she is not the nanny (or the ninny) of the world. Thank God for sending President Trump in 2016 to turn around our freefall from that fundamental transformation into a Muslim spithole.
A great song written about that day:
There’s another one regarding that day.
Have only heard it once. It was written by Loudon
Wainwright the 3rd. It’s called “Empty Platforms”.
It’s about going into New York after 9/11 on the
subway. It was played on a TV memorial special.
Saw it that day, cried my eyes out. Have looked for
it for years. ANYONE that can find a copy of it and
post it would be massively appreciated. Thanks.
Most here will have heard the story of the two F-16s that took off from Andrews AFB to intercept flight 93. In typical fashion in those naive days, they were “on standby” – unarmed! The squadron commander, Colonel “Sass” Sasseville, and Captain “Lucky” Penney, intended to ram flight 93 at the almost certain cost of their own lives.
Naive?
Such a beautiful ceremony… and so sad. Was crying through the whole thing, could not help it.
I can’t watch the memorials. I get overwhelmed with tears and heart break every time. I lived in NJ at the time – right across from the Twin Towers. I worked in NYC. I used to take the Path train to the World Trade Center. It was one of my favorite places in NY, especially in the summer and fall.
Heavy heavy heart today

America is blessed to have such a strong wise leader.
Never Forget
That dreadful day rocked my world. The pain is like yesterday.
It was the beginning of learning that the demoncrats were commies amd their lust for power has no bounds.
Im sick of these screaming American hating irrational evil democrats and their cult followers. These commies sympathize with jihadis, dictators, marxists, criminals , pedophiles and drug cartels all the while violently hating their fellow citizens.
19 years is enough, time to squash the enemy at the ballot box.

Many of you know that I ask that you add “some” before the word “teachers” or “schools” when you (justly) criticize public education and that I always state that at least one district–mine–is excellent.
My junior high observed a moment a silence at 8:46 in honor of the victims of 9/11 after our principal explained why we were doing it, even though the students now weren’t even born until 6 years after. Our school, with students ages 11-14, was completely silent for a full minute.
Our principal also sent a memorial video to all teachers and asked them to show their students.
Yes, we must take back our schools, but please remember to support those of us teachers who are holding the line.
Thank you!
Thank you. It’s heartening to know there are still some in our schools who love America and appreciate our heroes, and are trying to pass it on.
Amen goddess! Those in the classroom who still espouse American values need to remember and not be bullied by the Arne Duncan holdovers. Those policies and the ridiculous Common Core (which was only common in the belief that America needed to be fundamentally transformed from a Christian society to a Muslim one) do not represent all educators, only the loudest of the bullies. Like those on flight 93, patriotic teachers of all disciplines can take a stand to take back the education system. It used to be only the university system but those who were in place to indoctrinate university students realized that they needed to take it down a level to include secondary and even elementary students.
One good thing may have come from the CoronaQuarantine and that is that some parents have had an opportunity to see the “garbage” being shoved down our children’s throats by some state curriculum. If a school or teacher doesn’t want parents to watch the online lessons, that should be a red flag the size of Russia. What are they hiding? Why are they in desperate need of secrecy? How are they undermining the parents?
Why do the radical leftists and Socialists want free college? They need more time to brainwash kids and make good little Nazis out of them. As parents, you need to study what happened in Germany between WW1 and WW2 and decide if that is what you want for your children.
I’m with you goddess. I know there are patriotic teachers in some classrooms. Like those diners who were trying to enjoy a meal in New York and in Pennsylvania, they were intimidated by smaller but more violent groups of anarchist rebels who want to bully Americans into submission. It is now time to take a stand. Now. Stand with the man who delivered that wonderful speech and who fights every day for our country.
Dear God, we pray for President Trump, Melania, Barron and their whole family and team, with thanksgiving in our hearts for their beautiful and uplifting service to our torn and suffering nation. We ask your protection, care, comfort and strength to be theirs always. Dear God, surround them with your love and your power and keep the enemy far from them. We pray for change in the hearts of the evil and hateful people in this world. Turn their hearts to you and fill them with your love for them and for all of us. For those still bent on evil, thwart their plans and end their worthless lives if need be in accordance with your almighty wisdom and justice. Comfort those who mourn still on this terrible anniversary day. Be their light and salvation. Bring justice, Lord, bring your truth and your justice to America and to the world and let no one stand against you and your people. Help us also to bow humbly before you knowing we too need the infilling of your Holy Spirit of grace to turn our hearts to live your Word and your will on this earth, as it is in heaven. God bless PDJT and God bless America! Let’s roll! In Jesus’ mighty name. Amen.
What a moving speech, bringing back such feelings. The most important for me came later, as the events of United Flight 93 became known, and, again after time reflecting on that heroic action by American civilians, completely unprepared and un-organized to face such a crisis. President Trump’s description of them taking a vote, and then acting to stop the terrorists from their demonic plan, despite their own loss of life – “Let’s roll” – is such an inspiration.
I am reminded of Paul Revere’s ride, of Struance’s victory at Midway and John Doolittle’s raid on Tokyo, of Patton’s relief for the forces at Bastogne, and also of the account of American soldiers in the initial fighting forward from D-Day, and how adaptive they were to unplanned-for contingencies, how, within days, the tanks mounted telephones on the outside so infantry could talk to them without stopping, and both got connected into the radios in our airplanes, so that infantry, tanks and aircraft could coordinate their actions locally, and how it compared to the Germans, whose pilots were verboten to radio anyone other than other pilots and their airbases. Something about being American, that can-do attitude, that assuming of responsibility, was there on Flight 93, so that, within a few short minutes of the first attack in New York, an effective American force organized itself out of a passenger list and struck back the resounding first counter-blow to this coordinated assault on our nation.
May we all resolve to fight where we can against the current threat.
Why is Mark Esper still Secretary of Defense after he stabbed Trump in the back in June by totally disarming National Guard troops in DC during violent BLM/Antifa rioting? He will no doubt do it again as election violence flairs. This dangerous traitor should be sent to Gitmo
I am thoroughly disgusted not only with Esper by the JCOS— they are supporting a coup.
Such moving words. So difficult to watch, yet a most beautiful tribute.
May God bless all.
And to think, IIlhan, Rashida, Nancy, Adam, Alexandria, Chuck, Jerry, Mark, NFL players/Roger, Joe, Bernie, Jane, Kamala et al are probably quietly celebrating today. Big smily face plastered on their calendars. Justice! “They’re not gonna stop. And they should not”
The nfl must be pretty proud of themselves today….
I would encourage everyone to visit the memorial site in Shanksville, PA.
The memorial is beautifully done — humbling; solemn; tranquil.
Peaceful.
This field is in the middle of absolutely nowhere. And, it is amazing, poignant — and significant — that President Trump & Melania took the effort to go to this site.
Again, it is in the middle of nowhere.
It takes effort to get there, as it is not along the beaten path.
So, please go. Visit this memorial site. It is beautiful what they have done.
While there, take a side trip (close by) to visit Falling Waters. Falling Waters is a ‘must see’ experience.
Falling Waters is a marvel in architectural design by Frank Lloyd Wright. Close by, and also open to the public is Kentuck Knob — another of his designs.
And then there is the PA State Park of Ohiopyle — luscious, tranquil & waterfalls.
Again, Shanksville, PA — is in the middle of ‘nowhere’. You can’t fly there — you must drive by car for a rather long time.
As (soon to be President) DJT said in 2015 “… they are not sending their best … ”
All the 9-11 mass murderers were on American soil by exploiting one of the dozens of “visa” categories.
We need to bar anyone from a terror-sponsor or terror-prone nation from entering our borders. To honor those who fell on 9-11. And honor our first responders and rescue workers – they still deal with the physical and mental trauma.
in truth the 9-11 mass murderers were benjamin natanyahu, george bush, dick cheney, donald rumsfeld, barack obama and hillary clinton. they killed two million largely innocent people who never attacked the u.s.
israel ran and still celebrates the false flag (disguised as arabs) king david hotel bombing, most lethal terrorist attack in israel/palestine ever. so why is it so hard to think the 9-11 attacks also came from israel? cui bono? as netanyahu said, 9-11 was good for israel. the arab countries certainly didn’t benefit.
A beautiful service that brought tears to my eyes and memories to my mind.
I was wearing my Never Forget shirt while shopping today, and a lady stopped me and said, “You have not forgotten.” She had not forgotten either, and it was good to share those memories with a total stranger. We must Never Forget!
Such a beautiful tribute to a Garden of Heroes. This is who we are.
Someone …had.. to have screwed up the President’s TelePrompter by inserting the Stumping about Killing the terrorists- So obvious that it had no place in his speech.
Hope they were fired!!
Those American heroes on flight 93 saved either the capital or the White House from being hit and every year it becomes harder to sit and watch what our intelligence community missed.
probably building seven in the wtc. still went down at freefall speed into its footprint. even announced twenty minutes early by the bbc.
I could be wrong on this, however I recall reading something about John Brennan taking over for Wolsey in Saudi Arabia (for State Dept I think). and he over-rode the visa rejections for the 19 terrorists into the US. Does anyone have any info to confirm that. Wolsey started working for Berisma in 2017, which appears to be the go to money laundering scheme for State Dept employees but handed his role over to Brennan at the turn of the Millenium, with added information about the 19 terrorists. Not trying to perpetuate any theory’s just seeing if there is additional information on those two at that time.
Yes- let’s not forget Brennan’s roll in 9-11….
Why wasn’t he taken down then?
that is a very good question. why indeed? what about bob mueller who ran the fbi investigation of 9-11? or how did judge alvin k. hellerstein get away with throwing all the 9-11 families’ lawsuits out of court when his israeli lawyer son worked for the israeli law firm defending the israeli passenger screening firm charged with guarding the relevant airports and which was being sued by the 9-11 families?
hint: it’s a tell.
Yes- let’s not forget Brennan’s roll in 9-11….
Why wasn’t he taken down then?
Today is 9/11, that horrible day, 19 years ago. There were so many heroes then. Now, all you see are homegrown Terrorists destroying our country because of BLM (Black Lives Matter). The young Democrat criminals hate our country and hate our USA flag. These ANTIFA mobs are purposely destroying our country because the Far Left Liberal Democrat Professors from many Universities have poisoned their minds against America, the greatest country on earth. The Democrat Hypocrites are being funded by Democrat Billionaires who want our country destroyed, so Senile Joe Biden and his Socialist/Communist comrades can take over our country. Joe Biden can’t speak without his Teleprompter. His writers write everything for Joe Biden to read off the Teleprompter. He could never answer the reporters on his own. The Far Left Liberal Reporters tell Senile Joe Biden the questions they will ask him, and Joe Biden’s writers put down the answers on the Teleprompter. Is this the kind of person you want for a President??? He could never handle the job, so why are the dumb, uninformed Democrat people voting for such a Corrupt Loser??? I know why, because they keep watching the Far Left Liberal Democrat reporters from CNN, MSNBC, ETC. lying to the people about how terrible President Trump is, even though President Trump has done so much for our country, but of course, these FAKE NEWS reporters don’t tell their viewer this. Stop these EVIL Reporters from telling their LIES. Vote for President Donald J. Trump November 3, 2020 and keep our country free, safe and working for all Americans.
if anyone really wants to know what’s going on behind the screen, read chris bollyn’s “solving 9-11” and “the war on terror: the plot to rule the middle east.”
