""It's one of those things where any kind of grief, I don't think it ever goes away," Lynch said as he, his partner and his mother joined thousands of volunteers preparing meals for the needy at a 9/11 charity event in Manhattan the day before the anniversary. "Finding the joy in that grief, I think, has been a huge part of my growth with this," he said."
"At ground zero in lower Manhattan, the names of the attack victims will be read aloud by family and loved ones in a ceremony attended by Vice President JD Vance and his wife, second lady Usha Vance. Moments of silence will mark the exact times when hijacked planes struck the World Trade Center's iconic twin towers, as well as when the skyscrapers fell."
Americans marked the 24th anniversary of Sept. 11 with solemn ceremonies, volunteer events and intimate gatherings honoring nearly 3,000 victims. Families and loved ones joined dignitaries at commemorations in New York, the Pentagon and Shanksville, Pennsylvania. Many participants read victims' names and observed moments of silence timed to the attacks. Some survivors and relatives performed charity work, such as preparing meals for the needy. The anniversary occurred amid heightened political tensions after the fatal shooting of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, prompting additional security measures at the World Trade Center ceremony attended by Vice President JD Vance and other officials.
