President Trump honored 9/11 victims and first responders during a memorial event on the White House Ellipse on Tuesday ahead of the 25th anniversary of the terrorist attacks. "This battered piece of steel here today on the Ellipse is a reminder that America is blessed with a strength no fire can consume, no evil can conquer, and no terror can destroy," he said, standing beside a 16,900-pound steel beam from the World Trade Center. The remarks came as part of the Steel Across America tour, in which the Tunnel to Towers Foundation is bringing the 21-foot beam across the country. The tour returns to New York City on Friday after making more than 35 stops across the U.S. "The 16,000-pound beam lifted from the wreckage of the South Tower will forever testify to the courage and resilience and spirit of a city and a nation that saw our homeland struck, our towers knocked down, and stood back up stronger, more determined and united than ever before," President Trump said. #911 #trump #
