On September 11, the United States pauses to remember the nearly 3,000 people killed in the 2001 attacks. This year marks 25 years since that morning. Ceremonies are held across the country, including at the 9/11 Memorial & Museum in New York City, the Pentagon in Washington, D.C., and the Flight 93 National Memorial in Shanksville, Pennsylvania.
In New York, family members read the names of the victims during a solemn ceremony at the memorial plaza. The program includes moments of silence for the times the towers were struck and fell, the attack on the Pentagon, and the crash of Flight 93. For the first time, a seventh moment of silence honors those who have since died of 9/11-related illness or injury. Digital programs and museum exhibits also share the personal stories of those who were lost and those who survived.
Leaders past and present take part in the day’s remembrances. Former presidents attended the New York ceremony, while the president delivered remarks at the Pentagon, reflecting on loss, service, and the country’s resilience.
