During President Donald Trump's inauguration events at Capital One Arena in Washington D.C. on January 20, 2025, a moment of silence was held to honor Corey Comperatore, a 50-year-old firefighter who was killed during an assassination attempt on Trump at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania in July. Firefighters from Butler County led the inaugural parade, carrying Comperatore's fire jacket onto the stage. In his first public appearance since being inaugurated as the 47th President, Trump invited Comperatore's family and first responders from Butler to attend the parade. The ceremony paid tribute to Comperatore and acknowledged the heroes who saved lives during the attempted assassination.
