'We Pay a Debt of Honor': VP Pence, Others Remember Flight 93 Victims


“Not far from where Vice President Mike Pence stood Wednesday morning at the Flight 93 National Memorial stands its 93-foot-tall Tower of Voices, where wind chimes of different musical notes symbolize each of the 40 individuals who thwarted another attack on Sept. 11, 2001,” Julian Routh writes in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

“Marking the 18th anniversary of the 2001 terror attacks, the vice president delivered remarks at the Flight 93 memorial, paying tribute to the passengers and crew members who rose up against the plane's hijackers and ‘met unspeakable evil with selfless heroism and American strength,’ he said.”

Yesterday morning, President Donald J. Trump and the First Lady led a moment of silence at the White House alongside families of September 11 victims.

“President Trump, speaking Wednesday at a memorial ceremony at the Pentagon, said the 9/11 terrorist attacks are ‘seared into our souls’ and offered the family members of those killed on that day 18 years ago ‘our unwavering loyalty,’” Mark Moore writes in the New York Post. “For every American who lived through that day, the September 11th attack is seared into our soul. It was a day filled with shock, horror, sorrow and righteous fury,” the President said.
“American farmers continue to feed the world as they have since our nation’s humble beginnings,” West Virginia Agriculture Commissioner Kent Leonhardt writes in the West Virginia Record“The president’s efforts to level the playing field are a welcome change from administrations’ past and [it’s] time Congress shows the same support to our farmers by ratifying the USMCA agreement. We can no longer allow foreign nations to use the American farmer as a trade pawn. The farming community has waited long enough.”
In the New York Post, Eddie Scarry points out how all of CNN’s big “mistakes” these days conveniently run in one direction: anti-Trump. CNN’s latest spy-gate falsehood “was only the latest in a series of major screw-ups by the cable network, some that it has admitted to and some that it hasn’t. And by what I’m sure is pure coincidence, all of the awful reporting has taken place in negative stories about the president.”
“The number of Americans filing applications for unemployment benefits fell to a five-month low last week, suggesting the labor market remains strong,” Reuters reports. “Initial claims for state unemployment benefits declined 15,000 to a seasonally adjusted 204,000 for the week ended Sept. 7, the lowest level since April, the Labor Department said.”
