美国各地于9月11日举行全国追悼活动，纪念25年前的恐怖袭击1。近3000人在该事件中丧生1。现任总统特朗普在五角大楼主持仪式，表示"我们永远、永远不会忘记"1。副总统JD万斯与四位在世前总统——乔治·W·布什、乔·拜登、巴拉克·奥巴马和比尔·克林顿及其夫人在纽约世贸中心遗址参加纪念活动1。全场为遇难者默哀1。
今年的纪念活动首次增加了第七声钟声，用以纪念袭击后因相关疾病（如癌症）死亡的数千人1。美国卫生官员表示，这些相关疾病已造成的死亡人数超过直接遇难人数的三倍1。
9·11受害者家属代表、9·11家庭联合会全国主席特里·斯特拉达对沙特阿拉伯提出质问，称"怎么能在25年后仍然没有就沙特在你谋杀中所扮演的角色获得正义？"1 然而，2004年9·11委员会报告称"没有发现证据表明沙特政府作为一个机构或沙特高级官员个人为基地组织提供资金"1。
The United States observed the 25th anniversary of the September 11 terrorist attacks on Wednesday with solemn ceremonies across the nation.1 President Trump presided over a ceremony at the Pentagon, while Vice President JD Vance joined four former presidents—George W. Bush, Joe Biden, Barack Obama, and Bill Clinton—and their spouses at the World Trade Center memorial site in New York.1 Moments of silence were held to honor approximately 3,000 people who died in the attacks.1
"We will never, ever forget," Trump declared at the Pentagon observance.1 This year's memorial included a historic addition: a seventh bell toll to recognize thousands of people who have died from illnesses linked to the attacks in the decades since.1 According to U.S. health officials, deaths from attack-related diseases have exceeded the number of direct casualties by more than threefold.1
The anniversary also brought renewed focus on questions of accountability. Terry Strada, national chair of the 9/11 United Families Coalition, used the occasion to criticize Saudi Arabia, asking: "How can we still not have justice 25 years later for Saudi Arabia's role in your murder?"1 However, a 2004 report by the 9/11 Commission stated it "found no evidence that the Saudi government as an institution or senior Saudi officials individually provided funding to al-Qaeda."1
