President Joe Biden stopped at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson on his way back from the G20 summit in India and a diplomatic visit to Vietnam.
President Joe Biden speaks at a 9/11 memorial held at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Anchorage on Sept. 11, 2023.
“My fellow Americans, September 11, 2001 tested our strength, our resolve and our courage,” Biden said. “The billowing smoke and ash, the dark and the clear blue sky that September day. Those shredded steel concrete slabs that rained down from the World Trade Center. The plume of fire that shot up in the sky and Pentagon.”
“We know that on this day, 22 years ago from this base, we were scrambled on high alert to escort planes through the airspace,” the president said. “Alaskan communities opened their doors to stranded passengers. American flags sold out in every store, were placed in front of seemingly every home.”
