September 11 commemorations: Joe Biden calls on Americans to unity

It is a painful birthday that New York is preparing to commemorate this Saturday, September 11. The city had to face 20 years ago the worst attack in the country’s history.

A tribute is planned in an America still disoriented by the recent withdrawal of the armed forces d’Afghanistan. President Joe Biden called on citizens to unity, in a video recorded and broadcast on September 10: “When we are most vulnerable, torn between all that makes us human, in the battle for America’s soul, unity is our greatest strength. Unity doesn’t mean we have to believe in the same. But we have to have respect and faith in each other, and in this nation.“.

Like every year, ceremonies will be held at each of the three locations where Al Qaeda’s Taliban crashed crowded airliners, striking the financial and political heart of the United States.

A Shanksville, on Pennsylvania, the third plane hijacked by the jihadists, had crashed in a field before reaching its target thanks to the response of the passengers. Today, the relatives of the 40 people killed on board are meditating.

Students from University of Utah, who are training for the army, paid tribute to the first responders of September 11 by climbing the steps of the stadium, on the eve of the 20 years of the most deadly attacks in the United States, which claimed more than 3000 victims.
