Ceremonies were held all across New York City, Shanksville, Pennsylvania and at the Pentagon as the nation vows to never forget 9\/11.<\/p>\n<p>Survivors, first responders, politicians including Joe Biden and former Presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton, and hundreds of others gathered where the Twin Towers once stood on Saturday morning. Families read the names of the nearly 3,000 lives lost as they clutched onto photos of their loved ones who perished on that tragic day.<\/p>\n<p>Several moments of silence were held at Ground Zero throughout the morning, the sixth and final moment marking when the North Tower collapsed.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2516969\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2516969\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2516969\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/memo.jpg\" alt=\"A woman lights a candle and another one plays the guitar during an interfaith vigil in Brooklyn Heights as the Tribute in Light is seen on the background as part of the commemoration for 20th anniversary of the terrorist attack in New York City on September 11, 2021.

But the most important thing, I think for everybody, not just firemen, is never forget,\u201d said one firefighter, Joe Castellano. \u201cNever forget who did this, why they did it, and never forget America and what we stand for.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, President Trump opted not to participate in the official ceremony, instead making a surprise visit to New York City\u2019s police officers and firefighters. Trump noted how the bravery of police, firefighters and first responders were on display that fateful day.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIncredible job you do. You do. I grew up with you and you are New York\u2019s finest. You\u2019re incredible people,\u201d stated the 45th president.<\/p>\n<p>Also speaking, former President Bush took the podium during a ceremony in Shanksville, emphasizing the unity America demonstrated 20 years ago.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe saw that Americans were vulnerable, but not fragile. That they possess a core strength that survives the worst that life can bring,\u201d said Bush to the crowd. \u201cWe learned that bravery is more common than we imagined, emerging with sudden splendor in the face of death.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2516967\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2516967\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2516967\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/fire.jpg\" alt=\"Firefighters in full gear, first responders, victims family members and supporters participate in the 2021 Colorado 9\/11 Memorial Stair Climb at the Red Rocks Park and Amphitheatre on September 11, 2021 in Morrison, outside Denver, Colorado. - Participants walk nine laps around the Red Rocks Amphitheater, which is equivalent to the 110 floors of the World Trade Center.
