On Thursday morning, President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania attended a ceremony commemorating the Sept. 11, 2001, attack on the Pentagon. Today marks 24 years since the tragic terror attack.
Earlier Thursday, a large American flag was draped across the west side of the building — marking the area that was struck by American Airlines Flight 77.
Watch:
According to the 9/11 Memorial & Museum, 2,977 people died during the terror attacks — including 2,753 in New York City, 184 at the Pentagon and 40 on Flight 93 that crashed in Pennsylvania.
Later, the president is expected to travel to New York to attend a Yankees game.
