TL;DR

President Joe Biden marked the 22nd anniversary of 9/11 by delivering remarks at a military base in Anchorage, Alaska, where he praised the Alaskan communities for their support during the attacks. This was the first time Biden delivered a 9/11 anniversary speech as president at a site not directly impacted by the attacks. He emphasized the importance of national unity and called for Americans to come together around democracy. Other administration officials, including Vice President Kamala Harris and First Lady Jill Biden, also commemorated the day at traditional sites. The administration will provide $4 million to the National September 11 Memorial & Memorial Plaza in New York City.
