0:00I'm Ed Donahue with an AP News Minute in Washington, President Trump paid tribute to the victims of the September 11th attacks. We will never forget those we lost and we will never forget the immortal heroes of September 11th, 2001. The event was spearheaded by the tunnel to Towers Foundation and showcased a massive 21-foot, nearly 17,000-pound steel beam, recovered from the South Tower, the World Trade Center in New York. This battered piece of steel here today on the ellipse is a reminder that America's bless with a strength no fire can consume, no evil can conquer, and no terror can destroy. The president's remarks briefly dipped into the political. A law enforcement holds our country together in light of some threats. We have some very real threats right now. We have people that want to go a different way, they want to go a communist way well. That's second to work. President Trump will attend the 9-11 ceremony at the Pentagon Friday. I'm Ed Donahue.
