                Proclamation 9921 of September 5, 2019

                
National Days of Prayer and Remembrance, 2019

                By the President of the United States of America

                A Proclamation

                During these National Days of Prayer and Remembrance, 
                we come together to honor the memory of the nearly 
                3,000 men, women, and children who perished in the 
                terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. The passage of 
                time will never diminish the magnitude of the loss or 
                the courage, compassion, strength, and unity displayed 
                during one of our darkest hours.

                The horrific events of that September morning shook our 
                Nation to its core as we watched in disbelief as the 
                chaos unfolded. Yet in the midst of loss and 
                destruction, a renewed pride, patriotism, and 
                appreciation for the precious blessings of life and 
                liberty filled our soul. We pause, therefore, to 
                remember not merely our pain and sorrow from that day 
                but also our will, our fortitude, and our reinvigorated 
                unity and love for our fellow Americans.

                Since the founding of our Republic, we have proclaimed 
                reliance on Almighty God. Prayer has sustained and 
                guided the leaders and citizens of this great Nation in 
                times of peace and prosperity and in times of conflict 
                and disaster. Thus, it is fitting that we again turn to 
                our Creator for wisdom, comfort, and peace on this 
                somber occasion, praying for those who lost loved ones 
                at the World Trade Center, at the Pentagon, and in 
                Shanksville, Pennsylvania, and for all who bear the 
                wounds, seen and unseen, of these tragedies. We also 
                pray for our first responders who risk their own lives 
                to rescue others in peril, and continue to do so day in 
                and day out, as well as for our men and women in the 
                military who protect our homeland, serving a cause 
                greater than themselves.

                The United States has endured many trials, yet few 
                events have challenged our resolve as the events of 
                September 11, 2001. On that fateful day, our faith was 
                challenged, but never lost; our Nation wept, but could 
                not be defeated. Through the devastation, we emerged 
                stronger. During these commemorative days, may we unite 
                in prayer and remembrance and do our part to ensure 
                that future generations never forget this immeasurable 
                tragedy or ever doubt this Nation's extraordinary 
                resilience.

                NOW, THEREFORE, I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the 
                United States of America, by virtue of the authority 
                vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the 
                United States, do hereby proclaim Friday, September 6, 
                through Sunday, September 8, 2019, as National Days of 
                Prayer and Remembrance. I ask that the people of the 
                United States mark these National Days of Prayer and 
                Remembrance with prayer, contemplation, memorial 
                services, the visiting of memorials, the ringing of 
                bells, and evening candlelight remembrance vigils. I 
                invite all people around the world to share in these 
                Days of Prayer and Remembrance.

                IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this

                United States of America the two hundred and forty-
                fourth.
