Washington, United States, 29 August 2026 – The United States will mark the 25th anniversary of the September 11 attacks with President Donald Trump attending the remembrance at the Pentagon, while Vice-President JD Vance is scheduled to represent the administration at the principal ceremony in New York. Other senior officials will attend the observance near Shanksville, Pennsylvania, ensuring the three attack sites remain central to the commemoration.
The anniversary carries particular weight because it marks a quarter-century since nearly 3,000 people were killed when hijacked aircraft struck the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, while a fourth plane crashed in Pennsylvania after passengers and crew resisted the attackers. The ceremonies will again bring together victims’ families, emergency personnel, military representatives and public officials.
