Sept. 11 (UPI) -- President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump are attending a ceremony Thursday at the Pentagon honoring the anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
The president is expected to travel to New York later Thursday to attend a Yankees game. The Yankees are expected to have a pregame ceremony to recognize the victims and heroes of 9/11.
The Pentagon ceremony began at 8:45 a.m. EDT.
According to the 9/11 Memorial & Museum, 2,977 people died during the attacks, including 2,753 in New York City, 184 at the Pentagon and 40 on Flight 93 that crashed in Pennsylvania.
Vice President JD Vance was scheduled to attend a ceremony in New York, but changed his schedule to head to Utah to offer condolences to the family of Charlie Kirk.
