Communities Prepare 25th 9/11 Anniversary Tributes

60 sourcesUpdated Sep 9, 2026

Communities across the country are preparing ceremonies for the 25th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, in which al-Qaida hijackers killed 2,977 people by crashing three planes into the World Trade Center and Pentagon while passengers brought down a fourth near Shanksville, Pennsylvania. Local observances in Connecticut, Iowa, Michigan, Massachusetts and Rhode Island will include moments of silence, bell-ringing, name readings, wreath-layings, flag displays and tributes to victims, first responders and military veterans; in Iowa, participants will walk 21 miles to the state Capitol, stopping at fire departments and a cemetery. National ceremonies will be held at the three attack sites, with former presidents Joe Biden, Barack Obama, George W. Bush and Bill Clinton expected at Ground Zero, Vice President JD Vance representing the administration in New York and President Donald Trump attending the Pentagon observance. Organizers are highlighting the continuing health effects of toxic exposure on survivors, responders and nearby residents, while memorials such as Daniel Crisman Park in Pennsylvania, Virginia’s Freedom Flag Foundation and a Louisiana memorial to post-9/11 war casualties will preserve the attacks’ individual stories and legacy through community displays, educational materials, World Trade Center steel, books and other tributes.

Last 9/11 Firefighter Remains at Ten House

Sal Argano, now 65, is the last firefighter from Ten House assigned in 2001 still on the job at Engine 10/Ladder 10, a firehouse that doubles as an active station and an informal 9/11 memorial visited by tourists. The Ten House crew, including Capt. Terence Brody, played pivotal roles during and after 9/11, with the site featuring a bronze relief memorial to fallen firefighters and drawing crowds to this historic intersection near the National 9/11 Memorial.
