People are waking up this morning to memorials all around the country, to those who lost their lives twenty-two years ago when terrorist attacks claimed so many lives in New York, Washington, and Pennsylvania. We are reminded to never forget, but how could anyone not remember the horror of that day?
Every year I have written here about the 9/11 attacks. Each year I have woken up to news coverage of the anniversary. In New York City at the site where the World Trade Center stood, the names of the victims who died there are read out against a background of somber music. Vice President Kamala Harris is there. Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Marorkas is there as well. The President of the United States attends a memorial service at an Alaskan military base. There is a remembrance too in Shanksville, Pennsylvania. Second gentleman Doug Emhoff is in attendance. A memorial too at the Pentagon and in cities across the country.
I woke up to tv coverage of memorials. If you missed any of it, it will be available online throughout the day and on tv tonight and in tomorrow's newspapers. Never forget.
