President Donald Trump vowed Friday that the United States would never forget the September 11, 2001 attacks and would continue to “fight,” as he marks the 25th anniversary in a ceremony at the Pentagon.

“Today we renew the sacred oath that we first swore in their names a quarter of a century ago. We will never, ever forget. That’s why we fight today,” says Trump, who opted to skip commemorations in New York.

“We don’t have a choice. There can only be victory. We fight hard. We fight to win.”

“We salute the service members working right now to ensure the world’s number one sponsor of terror — the Islamic Republic of Iran — will never ever have a nuclear weapon.”
