The bible says if you owe debts, pay debts. If honor then honor. If respect then respect. And President Trump asked me to be here today to pay a debt of honor. To the memory and the families of the 40 passengers and crewmembers of flight 93. Men and women who rose up, who fought back, and who met unspeakable evil with selfless heroism and american strength.

I had been out to the temporary memorial ten times, maybe more than that. Its only 90 miles from pittsburgh where the flight crashed, and i wanted to
