President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance will attend ceremonies on Friday to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the terrorist attacks that killed nearly 3,000 people on Sept. 11, 2001.

The events will honor the 2,977 people killed after al-Qaeda terrorists hijacked four commercial airliners and flew them into the World Trade Center in New York and the Pentagon, while one plane crashed in a Pennsylvania field.

The president and First Lady Melania Trump are expected to attend the annual ceremony at the National 9/11 Pentagon Memorial in Arlington, Virginia.

While the president is at the Pentagon, Vance will be at the Ground Zero ceremony held at New York City’s 9/11 Memorial Plaza.

This year’s ceremony, which will begin at 8:40 a.m., will feature a reading of the names of the 2,983 individuals killed in the 2001 attacks, and the bombing of the World Trade Center on Feb. 26, 1993.
