[h=1]Remarks by President Trump at Flight 93 September 11 Memorial Service[/h]
[FONT="]Here with us today is Dorothy Garcia Bachler. Her husband Sonny was one of the passengers on Flight 93. On September 11th, 2001 — just over a month after their 32nd wedding anniversary — Sonny was on his way back from a business meeting. He called Dorothy — who he loved so much — called her on the plane and uttered her name before the line went dead silent.
[/FONT]
[FONT="]In the days after the attack, Dorothy told the investigators there was only one thing she wanted from this field: her husband’s wedding ring. They would know it by the inscription etched inside. “All my love,” it said, followed by the number “8/2/69” –- the date of their anniversary. The officers — great people — promised to try. But in this field of wreckage, it seemed certainly impossible.
[/FONT]
[FONT="]Dorothy began to pray, and she asked her friends to do the same. Days went by, then months. Still no ring. A week before Christmas, on December 19th, she heard a knock at the door. Two officers were standing with a — really beautiful to her — she saw it was so beautiful; she knew what was happening — a beautiful, small white box. Inside it was a wallet, a luggage tag, a driver’s license, a small bag with the wedding ring inscribed with those three precious words: “All my love.”
[/FONT]
[FONT="]Those words echo across this field. And those words tell the story of 40 men and women who gave all their love for their families, their country, and our freedom.
[/FONT]
[FONT="]To Dorothy, and to every family here today, America will never forget what your loved ones did for all of us. (Applause.)[/FONT]
