Services across the United States will be held Wednesday morning to honour the lives lost and changed in the 9/11 terror attacks.
This year marks the 23rd anniversary of the deadliest terror attacks on United States soil.
On Sept. 11, 2001, hijacked planes hit the World Trade Center in New York City, the U.S. Pentagon and crashed into a field in Pennsylvania, killing nearly three thousand people.
Memorials are planned to be held at each site, with moments of silence to be observed in the morning.
U.S. vice president Kamala Harris and former president Donald Trump are expected to attend the same 9/11 observances in New York and Pennsylvania.

A statement was made from the office of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau Wednesday morning regarding Canada’s National Day of Service.
“Today, we remember the lives of the nearly 3,000 people who were mercilessly killed, including 24 Canadians. We stand with those whose loved ones were taken away from them too soon, the thousands who were injured, and all those still living with the trauma. We also pay tribute to the first responders and community members who risked their lives to help others,” reads the statement.
