President Joe Biden was due at a ceremony on a military base in Anchorage, Alaska.
From Ground Zero to small towns, Americans looked back Monday on 9/11 with silence, tearful words and appeals to teach younger generations about the terror attacks that struck the nation exactly 22 years before.
Janita Ollison, left ,and Jeannetta Ollison 17, read some of the names of 9/11 victims printed on Flags of Honour Instead of speeches from political figures, victims read the names of the dead and delivered brief personal messages. Another appealed for peace and justice. One acknowledged the many lives lost in the post-9/11 “war on terror”. Many shared personal reflections on missing loved ones.“Though we never met, I am honoured to carry your name and legacy with me,” said Manuel Joao DaMota Jr, who was born after his father and namesake died.
