                 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.
                [[Page 47874]]
                 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this
                 fifth day of September, in the year of our Lord two
                 thousand nineteen, and of the Independence of the
                 United States of America the two hundred and forty-
                 fourth.
