The anniversary is celebrated during a period of increasing political tensions. The anniversary of September 11, which is often promoted as a day of national unity, comes a day after the shooting of conservative activist Charlie Kerk and killed him while he was speaking at a college in Utah.

Read the names and moments of silence

The authorities said that Kirk’s killing is expected to provoke additional security measures about the anniversary of the anniversary of September 11 at the World Trade Center site in New York.

At Ground Zero in Lower Manhattan, the names of the victims will be read by the family and the loved ones loudly at a ceremony attended by Vice President JD Vance and his wife, the second lady, Osha Vance. The moments of silence will celebrate the exact times when the kidnapped aircraft struck the famous twinning towers at the World Trade Center, as well as when the skyscrapers fell.

In the Pentagon in Virginia, the 184 -year -old service members and civilians will be honored when the kidnappers directed aircraft at the US military headquarters. President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump will attend the service before heading to Bronx in the baseball game between New York Yanxiz and Detroit Tigers Thursday evening.

In a rural field near Shanksville, Pennsylvania, you will honor a similar party that distinguishes moments of silence, read names and put wreaths of flowers, flight victims 93, the kidnapped plane that crashed after the crew members and passengers tried to storm the cockpit. This service will be attended by the Minister of Affairs of the Veterans Doug Collins.

The echo is still the attacks

In all, the attacks by al -Qaeda fighters killed 2,977 people, including many financial workers at the World Trade Center, firefighters and police officers who rushed to the burning buildings in an attempt to save lives.

Echoes in the world and changed the course of American policy, locally and externally. This led to the “World War on terrorism” and the US -led invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq and the relevant conflicts that killed hundreds of thousands of forces and civilians.

While the kidnappers died in the attacks, the United States government has struggled to conclude its long -term legal case against the man accused of canceling the conspiracy, Khalid Sheikh Muhammad. The former al -Qaeda leader in Pakistan was arrested in 2003 and was later transferred to an American military base in Guantenamo Bay, Cuba, but he did not receive a trial.

The anniversary of the anniversary in New York was held in the memorial and the National Museum on September 11, as two memorial gatherings on the waterfalls and gospels listed in the names of the local dead, where the twin towers were once.

The Trump administration is considering the roads that the federal government may control on the memorial scene and its underground museum, which is now run by a public charity headed by former New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg, a repeated Trump critic. Trump has talked about making the site a national monument.

In the years after the attacks, the United States government spent billions of dollars in providing health care and compensation to tens of thousands of people who were subjected to poisonous dust that mocked parts of Manhattan when the twin towers collapsed. More than 140,000 people are still registered in monitoring programs that aim to identify those who suffer from health conditions that can be associated with dangerous materials in soot.
