Trump Seeks Control of 9/11 Memorial, New York Responds

President Trump is exploring ways for the federal government to take control of the 9/11 Memorial & Museum, a move strongly opposed by New York officials including Governor Hochul, who emphasize the site's significance to New Yorkers and its current management. The White House has acknowledged preliminary discussions but no concrete plans have been detailed, while critics argue the move is inappropriate given federal budget constraints and the site's ownership by the Port Authority.

Biden's 9/11 Memorial Controversies and Remarks

The White House's explanation for President Biden's absence from the 9/11 memorial appears to be inaccurate, as historical records show that presidents have visited Pearl Harbor 22 years after the attack. Most presidents have participated in Sept. 11 memorials at the attack sites, but former Presidents Bush and Obama commemorated the attacks from the White House. Biden claimed, without evidence, that he stood at Ground Zero the day after the attacks, despite records showing he was in Washington, D.C. that day.

Honoring Sept. 11: Kinsale, Ireland, and Former Mets Players Pay Tribute

Kinsale, a small fishing village in Ireland, observes the anniversary of September 11th by honoring the 343 firefighters who lost their lives in the attacks. The Ringfinnan Garden of Remembrance, located on a hilltop in Kinsale, features a grove of 343 trees, each bearing the name of a fallen firefighter. The memorial was created by Kathleen Murphy, a nurse who treated wounded firefighters in New York City on that fateful day. Visitors from around the world come to pay their respects, and the memorial serves as a symbol of remembrance and peace for those affected by the tragedy.
