Ceremonies are being held nationwide to honor the nearly 3,000 lives lost. In New York City, former presidents George W. Bush, Barack Obama, and Bill Clinton will attend the Ground Zero ceremony, where the names of all 2,983 fallen will be read by family members. Vice President JD Vance will also attend the New York ceremony. Other administration officials will travel to Shanksville, Pennsylvania, to gather at the site where Flight 93 crashed. At the Pentagon, the administration announced a series of tributes including a moment of silence at 9:37 a.m. to mark the exact time of the attack. A large American flag will be unfurled against the side of the building, following a tradition established by first responders and soldiers in 2001.
