The nation on Monday will mark the 22nd anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks and for the first time, the president won’t be anywhere in the contiguous 48 states to mark the occasion.
President Biden will observe the anniversary at Alaska’s Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Anchorage, where he’ll stop on his way home from the Group of 20 summit in India.
Mrs. Harris was initially slated to travel with husband Doug Emhoff to the New York City event but the White House has diverted the second gentleman to attend a Sept. 11 ceremony in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, where one of the four commercial planes hijacked by terrorists crashed that day, killing everyone aboard.
The U.S. responded with a military attack against Afghanistan, launching the nation’s longest-running war. It ended 20 years later with a chaotic and deadly military withdrawal in August 2021.The impact of the attacks has had lasting health effects on those involved in the rescue and cleanup.
