This morning, President Obama, Vice President Biden, the First Lady, and Dr. Biden will join White House staff on the South Lawn of the White House for a moment of silence at 8:46 AM ET – the time that the first airplane struck the World Trade Center.

Please join us in observing a moment of silence to mark the 12th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks from wherever you are.

Later today, the President will participate in service projects to commemorate the September 11th National Day of Service and Remembrance. Find out how you can get involved in a service project here.
