25th anniversary of September 11 commemorations

Overview

As the 25th anniversary of the September 11 terrorist attacks arrives, the United States and the international community are engaged in widespread commemorations. The attacks, which killed 2,977 people, are being marked by official ceremonies at Ground Zero, the Pentagon, and Shanksville. In New York City, tributes include the ‘Tribute in Light’ and a drone show, ‘2,977 Lights Over New York Harbor,’ where 2,977 drones formed the silhouette of the Twin Towers.

National leadership is represented by Vice President JD Vance and former presidents Joe Biden, Barack Obama, George W. Bush, and Bill Clinton in Manhattan, while Donald Trump is expected at the Pentagon. For the first time, a seventh period of silence honors the 453 FDNY members who died from 9/11-related illnesses, alongside the 343 firefighters who died on the day of the attacks. International responses include the United Nations describing the attacks as an ‘attack against humanity’ and NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte reaffirming alliance unity. In Canada, the anniversary highlights the legacy of Operation Yellow Ribbon.

Reflecting on the quarter-century since the attacks, former President George W. Bush, speaking at his presidential library alongside former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, warned against isolationism, arguing that ignoring overseas developments undermines domestic security. He noted that supporting those fighting tyranny does not necessarily require troop deployments. Discussions also highlight the human cost of the subsequent ‘war on terror,’ with Brown University’s Cost of War project estimating between 4.5 and 4.7 million direct and indirect deaths resulting from U.S.-led wars since 2001. In Afghanistan, the return of Taliban rule in 2021 has raised concerns regarding the status of women, with activists urging continued international engagement.
