23rd Anniversary of September 11 in the U.S.; Biden: The Fight Against Terrorist Networks Will Continue

Joe Biden, the President of the United States, along with Kamala Harris, the Vice President, will visit three sites of the deadly September 11 incident to commemorate its 23rd anniversary, while Donald Trump, the former President and Republican candidate for the upcoming election, will attend the ceremony in New York City. During the terrorist hijacking attacks on September 11, 2001, on the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New York, the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia, and Shanksville, Pennsylvania, approximately three thousand people were killed and over six thousand injured. Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are set to begin their visit at the site of the Twin Towers in New York City. Kamala Harris, the Democratic candidate in the upcoming presidential election, who participated in a debate with Donald Trump in Philadelphia the previous evening, has traveled to New York for the September 11 memorial ceremony. Donald Trump will also attend the ceremony in New York City alongside former Mayor Michael Bloomberg. Relatives of the victims of this terrorist operation will honor their memory by announcing the names of the deceased. After attending the memorial for the September 11 victims in New York City, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris will travel to Shanksville, Pennsylvania. While the hijackers intended to use United Airlines Flight 93 on September 11, 2001, to attack another location in the U.S., the plane crashed in Shanksville due to passengers overpowering the hijackers. The President of the United States and his Vice President will return to Washington at the end of their visits on 'Patriot Day' to attend the Pentagon memorial. Joe Biden also honored the victims of these terrorist attacks in a statement and expressed gratitude to the hundreds of thousands of Americans who volunteered to serve in the military after the incident. The President emphasized that none of the 2,977 victims of the terrorists' attacks on September 11, 2001, their survivors, and the heroic first responders will be forgotten, and the U.S. will continue to disrupt the activities of terrorist networks wherever they may be. Karine Jean-Pierre, the White House spokesperson, emphasized on Tuesday, September 20, the importance of honoring all victims and expressing sympathy for their survivors, reiterating the U.S. government's commitment to preventing such incidents from recurring.

The statement underscored the United States' firm resolve to defend the country, support the American people, and back its allies in critical missions. The memorial ceremony for the September 11 victims will be held next to the Twin Towers memorial, as reported by Behnam Nateghi.
