President Trump gathered at the White House Ellipse to commemorate the twenty-fifth anniversary of the September 11 terrorist attacks, paying tribute to the victims and heroes of that day 1. The ceremony featured a 21-foot steel beam weighing nearly 17,000 pounds recovered from the World Trade Center's South Tower, which has been traveling across the nation as part of the Steel Across America tour 1. "This damaged steel beam here today reminds us of a power that no flame can extinguish, no evil can conquer, and no terror can destroy — the power of America," Trump said during his remarks 1.
The event honored two individuals who exemplified heroism on that fateful day 1. Jeffrey Palazzo, a New York City firefighter and Coast Guard reservist, and Wells Crowther, a stock trader, volunteer firefighter, and "Red Bandana Man," were recognized for their courage 1. Crowther was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation's highest civilian honor 1. The Coast Guard will commission a new rapid response vessel bearing Palazzo's name during a weekend ceremony in New York 1. Approximately 150 first responders from New York attended the ceremony, alongside cabinet officials and members of Congress, with additional attendees from Washington and Pennsylvania 1.
