Trump's Remarks at Flight 93 National Memorial 19th Anniversary Observance; Shanksville, PA
REMARKS
Remarks by President Trump at Flight 93 National Memorial 19th Anniversary Observance | Shanksville, PA
NATIONAL SECURITY & DEFENSE
Issued on: September 11, 2020
Flight 93 National Memorial
Shanksville, Pennsylvania

THE PRESIDENT: Thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you, David, very much. Its a great honor to be with you.
{snip}
Also with us is Marine veteran Jason Thomas, from Long Island. On September 11th, Jason had just retired from the Marines.

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. Its a symbol of what we are as Americans. Because that day, we all came together and stood as a nation, as Americans. It didnt matter what race you were, what religion you were. It didnt matter. We all came together to help one another. Id die for this country. Id die for this country.
{What? Snip}

that Jason guy is obviously a trump devotee...story may be true, maybe embellished, who knows, but the cross as a "symbol of what we are as a country" is bullshit...resilience is who we are as a country, not a cross...gee whiz another trump shout-out to his slobbering sycophants and on 9/11...I'm shocked, I tell you, shocked
