President Donald Trump on Monday signed an act into law which authorizes the extension of the 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund.

“Today we come together as one nation to support our September 11th heroes to care for their families and to renew our eternal vow — never ever forget,” Trump said during a White House Rose Garden ceremony, calling the fund’s extension part of “a sacred duty.”

The President was joined by more than 200 individuals affected by the 9/11 terrorist attacks, including more than 60 first responders.

“The love and loyalty of our 9/11 responders knew no bounds,” Trump said. “They answered terror with the emotional strength of true American warriors.”
