Denver, CO, September 11, 2026 —
Across the United States, the nation is observing the 25th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. Commemorative events are taking place today to honor the victims and reflect on the impact of the tragic events that occurred a quarter-century ago.
Central to the observances are ceremonies held at the sites of the attacks. In New York City, remembrance activities are scheduled at the World Trade Center memorial. These events typically involve moments of silence, readings of victims’ names, and reflections from families and officials.
Similarly, in Arlington, Virginia, the Pentagon is the focus of solemn observances. The Pentagon was the third site targeted by the terrorists on that day.
A third significant location for remembrance is near Shanksville, Pennsylvania, where United Airlines Flight 93 crashed. The passengers and crew on Flight 93 are credited with thwarting a further attack after confronting the hijackers.
These national commemorations serve as a time for reflection and remembrance, bringing together communities to honor the nearly 3,000 individuals who lost their lives in the attacks and to acknowledge the resilience demonstrated in the years that followed.
