New York, Chicago and other cities and towns across the U.S. will hold a moment of silence Wednesday morning, the day that marks 23 years since the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
Several suburbs will also hold 9/11 memorial events, including in Evanston where police officers and firefighters will hold a memorial service beginning at 7:30 a.m. at Firefighters Park. Regardless of the campaign calendar, organizers of anniversary ceremonies have long taken pains to try to keep the focus on victims. For years, politicians have been only observers at ground zero observances, with the microphone going instead to relatives who read victims’ names aloud.
Officials later concluded that the aircraft that crashed near rural Shanksville, Pennsylvania, was headed toward Washington. It went down after crew members and passengers tried to wrest control from the hijackers.
