President Donald J. Trump stood with first responders and the Tunnel to Towers Foundation on September 8, 2026, to commemorate the Americans who responded to the September 11, 2001, attacks. During the ceremony, a 21-foot steel beam recovered from the World Trade Center wreckage served as a tangible reminder of the day's events.
President Trump posthumously awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom to Welles Crowther, the "Man in the Red Bandana," for his actions rescuing individuals on the 78th floor of the South Tower. His mother and sister accepted the medal on his behalf. Additionally, the U.S. Coast Guard will commission a new Fast Response Cutter in memory of FDNY firefighter Jeffrey Palazzo, who died on 9/11. The President reaffirmed the nation's pledge to "never forget" the nearly 3,000 lives lost on September 11, 2001, emphasizing America's enduring strength and unity in the face of terrorism. The event also noted that President Trump and Vice President JD Vance are scheduled to visit the attack sites on Friday, September 11, 2026, for the 25th anniversary.
