ARLINGTON, VIRGINIA – On the hallowed grounds of the Pentagon, President Donald J. Trump and First Lady Melania Trump led a nation in solemn remembrance today, marking the 24th anniversary of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. In a poignant ceremony of profound gravity, the President reaffirmed America’s indefatigable spirit and delivered a sacred vow to forever honor the memory of the 2,977 innocent souls lost to an act of unspeakable barbarism.
Through a powerful oration and a ceremonial wreath-laying, the President articulated a narrative not of tragedy, but of transcendent heroism and national resolve. He recounted the valor that defined that fateful day, renewing the nation’s unwavering commitment to safeguard its citizens, uphold its founding principles, and ensure the perpetuation of freedom for posterity.
“On that momentous day, savage adversaries assailed the very bastions of our civilization,” President Trump declared. “Yet, here in Virginia, in New York, and in the skies over Pennsylvania, the indomitable American spirit did not flinch.

Our citizens stood resolute and demonstrated to the world an immutable truth: we shall never capitulate, we shall never acquiesce, and our great American standard will forever fly triumphant.”
Addressing the enduring grief borne by the families of the fallen, the President offered words of profound empathy and unity. “For a quarter-century, 9/11 families have endured the profound anguish of vacant chairs and silent celebrations, of futures irrevocably altered,” he stated. “To every individual who confronts that void each day, the First Lady and I join with you in collective mourning. Today, as one nation, fortified by shared memory, we renew our sacred covenant: we shall never forget September 11, 2001.”
The President’s remarks culminated in a noble promise to the nation’s heroes. “This morning, we commemorate the luminescence of America’s most valiant and the profound love that defined their final acts. In their hallowed memory, we make a solemn and noble pledge: we will perpetually honor our heroes… We will defend the nation they served, the virtues they embodied, and the liberty for which they made the ultimate sacrifice. We will champion our armed forces, shield our families, and preserve the American way of life for all succeeding generations.”
In a particularly moving segment, President Trump illuminated the profound personal legacies of the attacks, honoring U.S. Army Lt. Col. Kip Taylor. He noted that Taylor’s son, Luke, now a second lieutenant himself, feels a deep connection to the father he never knew through his service. “Luke, your parents are united in eternity,” the President assured, “and they could not be more profoundly proud of the man you have become.”
Furthermore, the President recounted the extraordinary bravery of Army Sgt. First Class Steve Workman, who, after leading hundreds to safety, plunged back into the Pentagon’s inferno to rescue a severely wounded Navy lieutenant. The President vividly recalled the lieutenant’s plea, “Don’t let me die,” and Workman’s steadfast reply: “I won’t. I’ve got you.”
The observance, captured in official photographs, depicted a somber and dignified tribute—a powerful testament to a nation’s enduring promise to never forget.
