Americans are remembering 9/11 with moments of silence, readings of victims’ names, volunteer work and other tributes, 21 years after the deadliest terror attack on U.S. soil
Sept 11 Anniversary
FILE - Members of the public arrive at the south pool after the conclusion of ceremonies to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, Sept. 11, 2021, at the National September 11 Memorial & Museum, in New York. On Sunday, Sept. 11, 2022, Vice President Kamala Harris and her husband are due at the ground zero observance, but by tradition, no political figures speak there. Instead, victims' relatives take turns in an hours-long reading of the names of the dead.
Victims’ relatives and dignitaries will convene Sunday at the places where hijacked jets crashed on Sept. 11, 2001 — the World Trade Center in New York, the Pentagon and a field in Pennsylvania. Other communities around the country are marking the day with candlelight vigils, interfaith services and other commemorations. Some Americans are joining in volunteer projects on a day that is federally recognized as both Patriot Day and a National Day of Service and Remembrance.
