Overview

• At the Pentagon, President Donald Trump presided over a remembrance for the 184 people killed there in 2001 and announced a posthumous Presidential Medal of Freedom for conservative activist Charlie Kirk.
• New York’s annual ceremony featured the reading of names, timed moments of silence and the Tribute in Light, with heightened security and FBI Director Kash Patel among the dignitaries.
• The FDNY added nearly 40 names to its wall for members who later died from illnesses tied to Ground Zero exposure, bringing the toll beyond the 343 firefighters lost on the day of the attacks.
• New York City’s medical examiner says more than 1,000 victims remain unidentified as forensic work continues, after three new DNA matches were reported in August 2025.
• The White House said the president would commemorate at the Pentagon in the morning and attend a New York Yankees game in the Bronx in the evening rather than appear at the World Trade Center service.
