                Proclamation 9781 of September 7, 2018

                
National Days of Prayer and Remembrance, 2018

                By the President of the United States of America

                A Proclamation

                During the National Days of Prayer and Remembrance, we 
                pause to honor the memory of the nearly 3,000 innocent 
                people who were murdered by radical Islamist terrorists 
                in the brutal attacks of September 11, 2001. We come 
                together to pray for those whose lives were forever 
                changed by the loss of a loved one. We strengthen our 
                resolve to stand together as one Nation.

                Darkness, hatred, and death marred that fateful 
                September morning, 17 years ago. Our Nation watched 
                with stunned silence, tears, anger, and utter disbelief 
                as multiple tragedies unfolded. Although shaken and 
                heartbroken, we were not defeated. Even in the midst of 
                the devastation and sorrow, the indomitable spirit of 
                our country emerged, as first responders selflessly 
                rushed into the heart of danger. The evil attacks, 
                intended to warp our way of life, instead ignited a 
                flame of national unity, strengthened our will, and 
                mobilized our volunteer spirit. The faith of our Nation 
                may have been tested in the avenues of New York City, 
                on the shores of the Potomac, and in a field near 
                Shanksville, Pennsylvania, but our strength never 
                faltered and our resilience never wavered.

                The passage of time cannot ever lessen our commitment 
                to freedom, our heartbreak for those who perished, our 
                compassion for those who lost a friend or loved one, 
                and our gratitude for the first responders and other 
                heroes who braved death to save so many. We must 
                recommit ourselves to ensuring that future generations 
                of Americans always understand this defining moment in 
                our Nation's history. During these annual days of 
                prayer and remembrance, we pray that all find peace in 
                the love of God, courage to face the future, and 
                comfort in the knowledge that those who were lost will 
                never be forgotten. We pray for guidance, wisdom, and 
                protection for the men and women in uniform who fight 
                each day to protect America from terrorism, and we pray 
                for the unity of our Nation, both in times of peril and 
                peace.

                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 7, 
                through Sunday, September 9, 2018, 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 
                seventh day of September, in the year of our Lord two 
                thousand eighteen, and of the Independence of the 
                United States of America the two hundred and forty-
                third.
