Biden Addresses Military and First Responders on 9/11 Anniversary

As the 22nd anniversary of the tragic events of September 11, 2001, unfolded, Americans from coast to coast came together to remember the day that forever changed the nation. Marked by moments of silence, tearful words, and a renewed commitment to educate younger generations about the significance of the terror attacks, this year’s commemoration was a poignant reminder of the resilience and unity that defines the American spirit.

All attention was directed towards New York’s World Trade Center, where people like Edward Edelman came together to pay tribute to their dearly departed. Edelman emotionally conveyed, “For those of us who suffered losses on that fateful day, it remains an everlasting presence. While life moves forward for others, for us, that day is an enduring reality.”

September 11 is a day not only to remember, but a day of renewal and resolve for every American — in our devotion to this country, to the principles it embodies, to our democracy.

That is what we owe one another.

On this day in 2001, nearly 3,000 lives were tragically cut short when hijacked planes crashed into the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and a Pennsylvania field. The attacks not only reshaped American foreign policy but also instilled deep-seated fears on the home front.

President Joe Biden, speaking from an Anchorage, Alaska military base during his return from a trip to India and Vietnam, implored Americans to unite in protecting democracy. His visit served as a poignant reminder that the impact of 9/11 reached every corner of the nation, no matter how remote.

“We know that on this day, every American’s heart was wounded,” President Biden remarked. “Yet every big city, small town, suburb, rural town, tribal community — American hands went up, ready to help where they could.”

Ground zero in New York saw Vice President Kamala Harris and other dignitaries participate in a ceremony at the National September 11 Memorial plaza. Instead of speeches from political figures, the event featured victims reading the names of the deceased and sharing brief personal messages.

These messages encompassed patriotic declarations about American values, expressions of gratitude towards first responders and the military, calls for peace and justice, and reflections on the many lives lost during the post-9/11 “War on Terror.”

President Biden’s historic visit to Alaska marked the first time a president had commemorated 9/11 in the western United States. He stressed the ongoing need to safeguard U.S. democracy and issued a warning about the rise of extremism and political violence.

First lady Jill Biden paid her respects at the 9/11 memorial at the Pentagon, where a massive American flag hung over the side of the building. Bells tolled, and taps were played at 9:37 a.m., the precise moment when one of the hijacked jets struck the military headquarters.

Across the United States, countless communities commemorated the anniversary by engaging in volunteer work, hosting memorial events, organizing marches, and launching educational initiatives aimed at ensuring that the memory of 9/11 lives on for generations to come.

As the years pass, the nation remains steadfast in its commitment to remembering the events of September 11, 2001, and the profound impact they had on the United States. In doing so, Americans honor the resilience, unity, and determination that define their nation’s spirit.
