President Donald Trump spoke at the 9/11 memorial service in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, on Tuesday, recalling the attacks of September 11, 2001. Trump praised the valor of the 40 passengers and crew members of Flight 93 for resisting the terrorists in control of the hijacked plane, which led to the crash in a Pennsylvania field.
“At this memorial on this sacred earth in the field beyond this wall and in the skies above our heads, we remember the moment when America fought back,” Trump said, praising the Americans aboard the flight–“changed the course of history” by resisting the terrorists.
Trump recognized the heroes who planned and voted to take action against the terrorist hijackers.
“At that moment, they took their fate and America’s fate back into their own hands,” he said.
Trump recognized the nearly 7,000 service members who died since 9/11 facing “radical Islamic terrorism” and promised he would do everything he could to prevent another attack on American soil.
“This field is now a monument to American defiance,” he said. “This memorial is now a message to the world: America will never, ever submit to tyranny.”

I’m waiting for comments from the following experts...Rosie O’Donut (that expert on steel), Michael Moore and David AttentionHogg (who if he was alive would have been at least 1).
Yep, those two days millions of us will never forget
Publius, aka Anton, wrote, "2016 is the Flight 93 election: charge the cockpit or you die. You may die anyway. You—or the leader of your party—may make it into the cockpit and not know how to fly or land the plane. There are no guarantees.
"Except one: if you don’t try, death is certain. To compound the metaphor: a Hillary Clinton presidency is Russian Roulette with a semi-auto. With Trump, at least you can spin the cylinder and take your chances...."
It is a fabulous piece and everyone should read it.
And since Trump hired Anton I think he must have liked the piece. He also spun the cylinder, by riding down the escalator, and took his chances.

Trump knew better by September 12th.
But still we go on with the charade.
I was..and no way did I or the thousands there feel disrespect for the POTUS...
HE SPOKE AND PEOPLE PAID ATTENTION, EVEN IN THE COLD, WET, CLOUDY SKIES. and the LOVE for this great Man was felt by all...
As he and the FLOTUS left the Memorial Site, Marine One, flew low over the crowd who was waving, and shaking their MAGA hats...that mountain side was trembling again...for the POTUS...HE IS LOVED...Do not believe or trust the media and the na-slayers...
Neil Young is nothing but a multi-millionaire, drug addled, morally vacuous 72 year old dumbass hippie.............May he rot in hell when he dies.
Yes, that is my comment on the Youtube video........
I have to agree with you. I turned off after 5 minutes also, first time I have ever done that with President Trump speaking.
Speech totally off. Yes, like he was forcing himself to read words he knew were wrong. ?????
He didn’t appear to be ill or tired.
I remember hearing at the time that the crash of Flight 93 was our First Victory on the War on Terror. I thought that an apt description
He actually preformed a musical composition competently, and befitting the theme. He hasn’t done that since The Needle and the Damage Done, that I’m aware of.
“Trump recognized the nearly 7,000 service members who died since 9/11 facing “radical Islamic terrorism” and promised he would do everything he could to prevent another attack on American soil.
“This field is now a monument to American defiance,” he said. “This memorial is now a message to the world: America will never, ever submit to tyranny.”
Historical perspective. Presidential, too. I like it. The would-be tyrants continue to gnash their teeth.
Presindent Trump's full speech at Shanksville Memorial
...very moving.
Now Melania is the kind of immigrant we need! :)
No kidding. One of the worst days ever. I had just dropped my son off at kindergarten and was listening to Mike Gallagher when said they’d been told to evacuate the (NYC) building. Got home in time to see the first tower fall. I started to cry and thought, how many people did I just see die?
Later that day I was at the bank and said to the teller, you do realize this means war. She looked at me, shocked. Apparently Americans are supposed to lie down and take it. That will NEVER happen.
Well, I think a lot of young people signed up for the military after that day to protect and defend America. Would be interesting to see the stats.
