President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump are commemorating the 18th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks with a moment of silence and visit to the National 9/11 Pentagon memorial.
“For every American who lived through that day, the Sept 11 attack is seared into our soul,” the president said as he remembered the day.
Mr. Trump said he was sitting at home watching a major business television show when “all of the sudden,” the screen cut away. “Nobody really knew what happened, there was great confusion,” said Mr. Trump.
