Americans yesterday commemorated the 22 years anniversary of the September 11, 2001 (9/11/1) deadliest terror attacks on the United States (US) soil by the al-Qaeda terrorist group, killing nearly 3,000 people.

Commemorations were held on Monday at the sites of the attack, at New York’s World Trade Center, the Pentagon in Virginia, and Shanksville, Pennsylvania, where a plane crashed into a field after passengers overpowered the hijackers.

President Joe Biden marked the day in Alaska.

Vice President Kamala Harris joined victims’ families at the 9/11 memorial in New York, where the twin towers of the World Trade Centre fell.

Report says, at the Pentagon, bagpipes and The Star-Spangled Banner were performed in front of military personnel and civilians. People were seen saluting and holding their hands over their hearts.

“September 11 made America a nation at war, and hundreds of thousands stepped up to serve our country in uniform,” Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said at the Pentagon ceremony.

“I know that it aches to remember this milestone year after year… The men and women of the Department of Defense will always remember.”

Moments of silence, tolling bells, candlelight vigils and other activities were held across the country on the day the US Department of Defence and others now call Patriot Day.

Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts raised and lowered the US flag at a commemoration in Fenton, Missouri, the location of a Heroes Memorial that includes a piece of steel from the World Trade Center and a plaque honouring a 9/11 victim.

“We’re just a little bitty community,” said Fenton Mayor Joe Maurath, but “it’s important for us to continue to remember these events. Not just 9/11, but all of the events that make us free”, the Associated Press reported.

In New Jersey’s Monmouth County, 9/11 was made a holiday this year for county employees.

Members of Minnesota’s St Joseph Fire Department spent time on Sunday doing the annual 9/11 stair climb, climbing to the top of the hose tower and back down 28 times, according to local news.

The 2,240-stair march simulated the 110 stories climbed by firefighters in the World Trade Center 22 years ago, and honoured the lives of more than 300 firefighters who died during rescue efforts.

The 9/11 attacks were the deadliest assault on US soil since the 1941 Japanese attack on Pearl Harbour, Hawaii, where 2,400 people were killed.
