Trump made the plea at a ceremony at the Pentagon on Friday near the location where one of the hijacked planes hit. Throughout his speech, the president highlighted the actions of firefighters and others who responded to the terror attacks.
“No one can ever prepare for a day like 9/11 — but we can always choose to be the kind of nation the world saw in those days after,” Trump said. “We can raise our children to know that their country is good, that their fathers are brave, and that our flag is a symbol of justice and freedom.”
During his speech, Trump told the story of New York City Fire Department Captain Timothy Stackpole, who died after he ran into the South Tower after Islamic terrorists smashed a plane into it. Stackpole was off duty when he responded to the attack. Stackpole’s family attended the Pentagon ceremony.
“We can be a nation whose heroes are not fanatics for an abstract cause,” Trump said. “But the kind who race into buildings and give their lives on a Tuesday morning for strangers they’ve never met.”
Trump added that “the light shines in the darkness,” and said future generations would honor the heroes of 9/11, “who no age will erase from the memory of time.”
“On days like 9/11, we learn what a country is truly made of. We’re learning right now what we’re made of,” Trump said. “We have to be strong, we have to be smart. And Americans are made of a goodness, [a] spirit that can transcend any earthly force.”
Trump also highlighted the actions of the passengers on board United Airlines Flight 93, one of the hijacked planes. After hijackers took over the plane, the passengers fought back and forced the plane to crash-land into an empty field near Shanksville, Pennsylvania.
Commemorations for the 25th anniversary of the attack were held across the country on Friday, including at Ground Zero in Manhattan and Shanksville. Vice President JD Vance attended the ceremony at Ground Zero along with all four living former presidents — Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, Barack Obama, and Joe Biden.

I am just an average American. My teen years were in the late 70s and I participated in all that that decade offered. Started working young, too young. Then I joined the Army before I graduated High School. I spent 25 years in, mostly in Infantry units. Since then I've worked in information technology positions all at small family owned companies. At this rate I'll never be a tech millionaire. When I was young I rode horses as much as I could. I do believe I should have been a cowboy. I'm getting in the saddle again by taking riding lessons and see where it goes.
