Today, President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris will visit the Flight 93 National Memorial in Shanksville, Pennsylvania. The National Park Service is hosting a Moment of Remembrance on the 23rd anniversary of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
The memorial is a tribute to the lives that were lost when the passengers heroically took on the terrorists who had hijacked the plane, ensuring it would not be used in another attack after the Twin Towers fell.
President Biden proclaimed, “ Twenty-three years ago — on September 11, 2001 — 2,977 precious lives were ripped from us in an evil attack on our Nation. During these solemn days, we renew our sacred vow: Never Forget. Never forget the loved ones we lost. Never forget the first responders who ran toward the rubble to save others. Never forget the hundreds of thousands of patriots who signed up to serve in the years after. And never forget that, when an enemy tried to tear us apart, our country came together. We stood united.“
As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…
- For the president and vice president as they participate in the 9/11 memorial ceremony in Shanksville.
- For members of the Department of Homeland Security and U.S. intelligence community as they are tasked with preventing further terrorist attacks.
- That Americans turn to the Lord as their hope and refuge as they remember September 11, 2001.
