For the past few months, a 21-foot steel beam from the World Trade Center has traveled across the country. It has stopped at various events to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, serving as a “bridge between generations.” In May, the steel beam traveled from New York City down to Miami, Florida. Then, the beam traveled through the South. It moved up the West Coast from San Diego to Seattle before heading back east. Today, the beam was in Washington, D.C., on the Ellipse across from the White House. President Trump spoke at this special event, honoring the victims and first responders who were murdered by radical Islamists on September 11, 2001. The president said that the steel beam “is a reminder that America is blessed with a strength no fire can consume, no evil can conquer and no terror can destroy.”
