US President Donald Trump arrived at the remembrance ceremony for those killed in the terrorist attacks on 11 September 2001 at the Pentagon. The president, accompanied by First Lady Melania Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, delivered remarks following the reading of the victims' names and prayers.
The 9/11 anniversary Pentagon ceremony honors the 184 people who died on September 11, 2001, when American Airlines Flight 77 struck the Pentagon. “That terrible morning, 24 years ago, time itself stood still. The laughter of school children fell silent. The rush of hour traffic came to an absolute halt. And for 2,977 innocent souls and their families, the entire world came crashing down so suddenly”, Trump said.
