President Biden and his predecessors have typically marked the 9/11 anniversary at one of the three East Coast sites where nearly 3,000 people died 22 years ago.
President Biden, fresh off a four-day trip to Asia, marked the anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on Monday by honoring service members and first responders in Alaska.
The 11th Airborne Division band boomed as Air Force One touched down Monday afternoon. Inside the hangar, rows of troops — some of whom were not yet born when the planes crashed into the twin towers — listened as Biden, standing in front of an oversized American flag and next to a CH-47 Chinook helicopter, emphasized the base’s importance to U.S. national security.
Defense Secretary Lloyd J. Austin III hosted an observance ceremony at the National 9/11 Pentagon Memorial in Virginia, where First Lady Jill Biden placed a wreath.attended the memorial in Pennsylvania. Secretary of Veterans Affairs Denis McDonough also attended a National Day of Service event at the department’s Baltimore National Cemetery in Maryland.
Biden praised members of the military and first responders deployed in the days after the terrorist attacks and those who continue to serve, calling them the “soul of the nation.” “One thing I always admired about John was how he put duty to country first,” Biden told the troops in Alaska as he finished his remarks.
