Families Gather at Ground Zero Nearly a Quarter Century After 9/11 Attacks

The commemorations included moments of silence, reading of nearly 3,000 victims' names, and community service projects honoring the lasting impact of the attacks.

  • On Thursday, September 11, 2025, memorial events took place at the Pentagon, in New York City, and near Shanksville, Pennsylvania, commemorating more than two decades since the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001.
  • These events followed the hijacking of four planes by 19 al-Qaeda terrorists on September 11, 2001, which caused nearly 3,000 deaths and led to years of national and global consequences.
  • Participants included first responders, family members, and public officials who read victims’ names, observed moments of silence, and reflected on lessons learned and ongoing impacts.
  • This week, the memorial honoring firefighters who have died from 9/11-related illnesses was updated with 39 additional names, bringing the total number of fallen members from the department to over 400.
  • These memorials and reflections emphasize continuing commitments to never forget the lives lost and to honor the unity and resilience inspired by the attacks, while also addressing challenges to memory preservation.
