Americans across the nation paused today to remember the worst attack on our homeland in history. At the Pentagon, a giant American flag was draped down the west wall where terrorists crashed Flight 77 twenty four years ago. This sacred tradition shows the world that America will never bow down to evil.
Secretary of War Pete Hegseth stood proudly as our beautiful flag was unfurled at exactly 6:50 in the morning. The massive Stars and Stripes covered the very spot where 184 innocent Americans lost their lives. This is what real patriotism looks like, not the fake respect we see from the radical left.
The flag ceremony has happened every year since that terrible day in 2001. It reminds us that America is still the greatest nation on Earth. While our enemies thought they could break our spirit, they only made us stronger and more united.
President Trump was also at the Pentagon to honor the fallen heroes. Unlike weak politicians who just give speeches, Trump understands what it means to put America first. He knows that strength, not apologies, keeps our country safe from terrorists.
Nearly three thousand Americans died that September morning when Islamic terrorists attacked our nation. They targeted the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and tried to hit our Capitol. But brave Americans on Flight 93 fought back and saved countless lives.
Today’s ceremony proves that real Americans will never forget what happened. We will never stop honoring our fallen patriots. And we will never let the enemies of freedom think they can defeat the United States of America.
The sight of Old Glory hanging over the Pentagon sends a clear message to the world. America stands strong and proud after all these years. No terrorist attack will ever break the spirit of the American people.
This is why we love our country and respect our flag. This is why we support our military and our veterans. And this is why America will always be the land of the free and the home of the brave.
