The U.S. is commemorating the 25th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks that left nearly 3,000 people dead and the nation shaken.
In 2001, attackers took command of four commercial jets and rammed them into the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and a field near Shanksville, Pennsylvania.
From New York and the Pentagon to Pennsylvania and communities nationwide, Americans mark the 25th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks with memorial ceremonies, moments of silence, vigils and tributes.
On Friday, September 11, people gathered at the Oneida County Courthouse in Rhinelander to remember the events of 9/11, honor the heroes of that day and pray for America. The event was organized by the Rhinelander Ministerial Association and included representatives from law enforcement and fire departments.
