Americans are marking the 17th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist
attacks that claimed almost 3,000 lives. President Donald Trump attended a
ceremony at the 9/11 memorial in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, near where United
Airlines Flight 93 crashed after passengers retook control from the al-Qaida
affiliated terrorists who had hijacked the plane.

In a statement Saturday, the White
House declared September 7 to 9 as National Days of Prayer and Remembrance for
the victim of the attacks. “The faith of our Nation may have been tested in the
avenues of New York City, on the shores of the Potomac, and in a field near
Shanksville, Pennsylvania, but our strength never faltered and our resilience
never wavered,” the statement said.
