LIVE: Joe Biden speaks on 9/11 anniversary in Alaska.
President Joe Biden to Honor 9/11 Anniversary in Alaska
President Joe Biden will pay tribute to the anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks in a unique and meaningful way. Instead of attending the ceremony in New York City like many past presidents, Biden will be in Anchorage, Alaska, on Monday.
Biden’s journey from Vietnam will bring him to Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, where he will deliver his remarks. This decision showcases the president’s commitment to honoring the memory of 9/11 in a different location.
Commemorations Across the Nation
While President Biden is in Alaska, Vice President Kamala Harris will be attending a solemn commemoration ceremony at the National 9/11 Memorial & Museum in New York City. First lady Jill Biden will also be paying her respects at the National 9/11 Pentagon Memorial in Arlington, Virginia. Additionally, second gentleman Doug Emhoff will participate in the Flight 93 National Memorial Observance Wreath Laying Ceremony in Shanksville, Pennsylvania.
It’s important to note that some veterans have expressed their disappointment with President Biden’s choice to honor 9/11 in Alaska instead of New York City. However, it’s worth mentioning that past presidents have also opted for alternative ways to pay their respects, such as visiting other 9/11 sites or delivering remarks from the White House lawn.
Biden is scheduled to begin his address in Anchorage, Alaska, at 4:45 p.m. Eastern time on Monday.
