"I am pleased to announce that I will soon be awarding Charlie Kirk, posthumously, the Presidential Medal of Freedom."

"On that fateful day, savage monsters attacked the very symbols of our civilization. Yet here in Virginia, and in New York, and in the skies over Pennsylvania, Americans did not hesitate. They stood on their feet, and they showed the world that we will never yield, we will never bend, we will never give up, and our great American flag will never, ever fail."

To every family member that still feels a void every day of your lives, the First Lady and I unite with you in sorrow. And today, as one nation, we renew our sacred vow that we will NEVER FORGET September 11th, 2001.

NEVER FORGET.

"This morning, we recall the light of America's best and bravest and the love they showed in their final moments In their memory, we make a solemn pledge and a noble promise: we will honor — always — our great heroes."
