President Barack Obama, first lady Michelle Obama, and others, pause on the South Lawn of the White House in Washington as they observe a moment of silence to mark the 14th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.
WASHINGTON >> President Barack Obama is joining the nation in remembering the nearly 3,000 people who died in the Sept. 11 attacks 15 years ago.
Obama is observing the somber anniversary with a moment of silence in the White House residence at 2:46 a.m. Hawaii time. That’s when the first of four hijacked airplanes slammed into the north tower of New York City’s World Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001.
Afterward, Obama will address a Pentagon memorial service.
Nearly 3,000 people were killed in New York, Pennsylvania and at the Pentagon when al-Qaida terrorists crashed the airplanes in those locations.
U.S. forces killed al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden nearly a decade later during a May 2011 raid that Obama authorized on his Pakistani hideout.

Let’s put all politics aside on this day to commemorate and remember all those who died on 09/11 and for those men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for you and I, for this country.
Thank you, Nomu
