READ MORE: Three former U.S. presidents joined President Joe Biden on Saturday in a somber commemoration of the tragic events of September 11, 2001, with all four leaders making a show of unity in the face of an increasingly divided America.
Biden stood shoulder to shoulder with former Presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton in New York City, where two planes crashed into the World Trade Center that sunny September morning 20 years ago. Separately, former President George W. Bush joined Vice President Kamala Harris in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, the crash site of United Airlines Flight 93, where all 44 people on board perished after passengers revolted against their hijackers.
Biden did not give a speech at any of the three events he attended, which included those at Shanksville and the Pentagon. But speaking to reporters on the sidelines, he said he felt it was crucial to visit all three sites.
“These memorials are really important,” he said. “But they’re also incredibly difficult for the people affected by them, because it brings back the moment they got the phone call, it brings back the instant they got the news, no matter how years go by.”
