9-11 Memorial Events
Today the 9/11 Memorial began with a moment of silence, then a ringing bell. This is a 20-year tradition. We honor the victims and the heroes of tragic events.
President Joe Biden, and former Presidents Obama and Clinton, were gathered with a crowd of relatives of the victims. Memorial Square in New York remains Ground Zero.
This is the place where the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center were struck by the first hijacked planes. This is where the towers fell.
Events also took place in two other locations where the conspirators crashed the hijacked jets. And memorials were held at the Pentagon and in the fields near Shanksville, Pennsylvania.
Actually, events were held across the country. And September 11, 2001, is acknowledged around the world.
Reflections on September 11, 2001.
“It reminds me that as we honor those from many nations, faiths, and backgrounds who lost their lives, we also pay tribute to the resilience and determination of the communities who joined together to rebuild,” England’s Queen Elizabeth II.
