The following is a transcript of remarks former President Trump delivered on the National Mall during a “Let Us Worship” service. Click here to follow Todd on Facebook.

It is an absolutely profound honor to address all of you gathered on the National Mall on this very solemn day of remembrance and prayer, as our Nation commemorates the 20th anniversary of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, a terrible day.

I want to thank Sean Feucht and everyone from the amazing Let Us Worship movement for hosting this very beautiful and incredible event. Since last year, you have brought worship and prayer to 132 cities all across the Country—including the largest church service in America right here in our Nation’s capital. By uniting citizens of all denominations and backgrounds to promote faith and freedom in America, you are strengthening our entire Nation and we thank you for it.

There could be no more fitting night for Americans to join hands and bow our heads in prayer than this evening.

Two decades after nearly 3,000 Americans were murdered at the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and a field in Western Pennsylvania, we honor the memory of every innocent soul killed in the September 11 attacks. We cherish their legacy, and we reaffirm our everlasting vow to Never Forget.

I pray President Trump stops praising the “vaccines” and starts opposing them. He and America got fooled by globalists/Gates/Schwab & Co.

From the article:

“We all remember hearing in the hours and days after the attacks the stories of Police Officers, Firefighters, and First Responders who showed bravery and daring far beyond the call of duty. As a lifelong New Yorker, it was extraordinary to witness the strength and resilience of people of that incredible city, and it is indeed an incredible city. They raced into danger, toward the smoke, without a thought of their own safety. The heroism of the NYPD, the FDNY, the Port Authority Police, as well as the First Responders at the Pentagon, and so many others will live in our national memory for all time.

Tonight, I want to express our thanks to every First Responder present on the National Mall. You are the very best of our Nation. You are incredible people.

I also want to ask every American here today, and all across the Country, to take a moment to share our gratitude for the countless people—active duty Service Members, Veterans, and Military families—who have sacrificed to defend our Country over the past two decades. And let’s especially be thanking and thinking of the brave heroes who served in Afghanistan. They courageously volunteered to hunt down the vile killers who attacked America, and to eliminate the menace of Radical Islamic Terrorism from the face of the earth. And I know what you are thinking because we have suffered a great, great embarrassment over the last week. A terrible thing has happened, terrible decisions were made by this administration. But you are brave, you are incredible, and it will be made up.

Earlier today, members of the Let Us Worship Movement placed flags on the graves of every Service Member in Arlington Cemetery who gave their life for our Nation since September 11. To the Gold Star families present on the Mall, and to the families of all the Service Members who have made the supreme sacrifice in our fight against the terrorist enemy, please know that you have our undying loyalty, our eternal devotion, and the love and support of every single American.

As we pray and reflect on this anniversary, one story from that terrible day points the way forward for our Nation and reminds us of the infinite source of our hope.

As black smoke was billowing from across the Potomac at the Pentagon and the skies of New York were full of ash and flame, a lone figure stood at a window near the base of the North Tower of the World Trade Center. Father Mychal Judge was the chaplain of a New York City fire station. When the first plane struck the World Trade Center, he raced inside knowing the danger. Video testimony shows him standing still at the large window, looking up at people falling to their deaths. A friend and fellow priest later recounted that if you watch carefully, you can see the Father’s lips moving. “For those of us who know him,” the friend said, “he wasn’t one that talked to himself. He was praying.”

Moments later, the South Tower collapsed, and the implosion shattered the glass window and killed Father Mike.

The day before he died, Father Mike spoke at the dedication of a New York City fire station. Before a group of firefighters, he shared a message that echoes across all time.

“You do what God called you to do,” he told them. “You show up. You put one foot in front of the other. You get on the rig and go out and you do the job, which is a mystery. You have no idea what God has calling for you.” You have no idea where you’re going, and in some cases you don’t know why. “But he needs you. He needs me. He needs all of us.”

Tonight, Father Mike’s words remind us that in the end, there is only one true answer to the depth and the evil that we saw on September 11, 2001. It is God. That is the answer that stood tall over the wreckage at Ground Zero, where rescuers forged the mighty steel cross from the fallen towers’ broken beams. It is the same sight that was seen hundreds of miles away in Shanksville—where the first, spontaneous memorial to the heroes of Flight 93 was a simple, but beautiful, wooden cross. And it is this same turning to God—the ultimate answer to evil—that we see here today, as thousands of Americans gather on the mall to pray for our beloved Nation and to pray for one another.

I want to thank Let Us Worship for calling Americans to 21 days of prayer in the coming weeks. America is a Nation strengthened and sustained by God and the prayers of all His children.

Your faith is a force that our enemies can never ever extinguish. Your love of God, Family, and Country is more powerful than any adversary’s hatred, or malice, or scorn.

So as we remember those Americans we lost two decades ago, we return again and again to the same simple prayer that was heard echoing all across our land in the days after the September 11 attacks: God Bless Our First Responders. God Bless Our Service Members. God Bless the memory of all who died on 9/11. And God Bless America. Thank You.”

Please don’t hijack this beautiful thread.

There are plenty of threads where you can give your opinion on vax or no vax.
Thanks!

Also, don’t forget to get an aborted baby tainted vaccine. Pro lifers seem to have to be ok with abortion when they think it will help them personally. You are either for abortion or you’re not.

I find it hypocritical to talk about God while wanting people to get the vaxx. I don’t care if its Trump. I don’t pray to him.

Amen to that. Can't wait till he comes back.

In 2O19 DJT executive ordered all vaccines to be made mRNA and biotech. Those do not contain aborted fetal tissue. That said, mRNA has it’s own set of worrisome issues. As the wife says, there is no good vaccine.

On September 11, President Trump referred to the call to 21 days of prayer by the LET US WORSHIP movement. I captured the link and some text from their website below. If I want to post a countdown, would today be day 1?

“LET US WORSHIP” MOVEMENT: WHAT IS IT ABOUT?

How did it all start?

Sean tells the story of how it started. In March when churches were closing, he heard a new decree in California that the church could no longer sing because of Covid 19. This really upset him, that in America and as a worshipper he wouldn’t be allowed to sing anymore. So he rang a whole load of his team to meet at Golden Gate Bridge at the heart of California for a worship event. 400 turned up.

During the worship there, they saw a number of police riding up and down the bridge. The team stopped to pray for them and asked them what they were doing. The police replied that they were on suicide patrol on the bridge! So Sean replied, “This situation, it’s turning around.” And they prayed for an end to these suicides. So that was also the turning point for them. They weren’t going to stick indoors anymore! And faith arose to see God change things.

Sean said at Sacramento that in the last month he had made a lot of people mad and many of his friends but that he just felt he and his team should keep going.

Why are the events controversial?

Because they have been run often without following Covid guidelines and most without masks.

Because they have focussed mostly on praying for healing of divisions rather than praying for justice. The Bible teaches that we should do both!

And don’t forget the first person who died after the World Trade Center got hit by terrorists......Father Michael Judge, who was there to administer the last sacraments to the dying. He was recorded as death 0001.
