Thanks for posting the speech in full. Very moving.
Great speech. I consider Trump a first responder too. He is saving the US. He knew Isis wasn’t done so he had to step up.
++++++
Amen.
I just had the SAME thought, after watching the 9/11 Boatlift video.
I thought about the Trump Boat Parades and thought about how Trump is actually rescuing US.
Thanks for posting the text of POTUS’ 9/11 speech.
One attempt was caught by security at IAH trying to board a Continental Airlines flight. There may have even been others, but that’s one I know about (since I worked for that airline). They got caught because they were late for the flight and pitched a fit. So, basically, we can all thank Houston traffic for saving lives.
I remember this. In the Spielberg film, Jason Thomas (who is black) was shown as white. Very bizarre, I never knew why these PC lefties actually ignored a real black hero and made him white...and never got any grief about it from the left.
Jason Thomas himself was very Marine-like about it and refused to make a big deal of it.
behind the podium are the flags of the United States, Germany, Japan, Great britain, Pennsylvania and Puerto Rico. Anyone knows what the significance of just those is?
There were passengers on Flight 93 with German, Japanese, British and Puerto Rican nationality.
If that stuff was really true, wouldn’t they have been arrested and it be part of a big headliner?
I’ve heard about another NJ flight but the same questions hold - why was no news put out about having caught anyone?
Good idea.
I’ve said this from day 1.
No one fit the definition of “hero” that day as did these innocent citizens. And I do mean, NO ONE. Not MIL people, not firefighters or policemen.
No disrespect meant, but United 93 was the purest, highest level of “hero”.
And I’m sure there were some pure heroes in WTC too, that we will never know about, as well as a few we do.
I like that he went here. Flight 93 represents where the people fought back.
Don’t know why, but it popped in my head that maybe Trump is making sure he visits each location as President. I discovered something interesting.
2016-as nominee, Trump (and Clinton) attended the remembrance in NYC.
2017-first as President, he attended at the Pentagon.
2018-he attended at Shanksville, PA.
2019-he attended at the Pentagon.
2020-he attended at Shanksville, PA.
He’s never gone to the NYC remembrance since he became President as far as I can tell.
I don’t know why it didn’t make the news. The lady who made the initial arrest was gone from IAH shortly after. It was strange. I don’t know why it was never publicly released.
I remember my wife worked in a downtown building and they were told to clear out ASAP.
yeah it was planned never realized it was grounded pretty quick. We did have anthrax mail delivery later.
I believe I heard the superintendant of the Flight 93 Memorial state that one of the passengers was from New Zealand, not Great Britain?
That flag never really got to fluttering in the wind today so I could not completely confirm its identity.
Without referring to the ongoing CW II, he refuted its proponents decisively. This speech is a close second to Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address.
