After breaking from an over two-decade tradition, President Biden was met with criticism for his 9/11 speech at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Anchorage, Alaska.

We can only imagine the heartbreak and pain that the 9/11 families have felt every day for the past 22 years."Despite the White House's defense, President Biden has been widely criticized for forgoing a visit to one of the 9/11 attack sites. Terry Strada, who lost her husband Tom at the World Trade Center, criticized Biden's decision as "the opposite of what we've all pledged to never forget." "He is now just saying that flippantly that he doesn't have to come to any of the sites and commemorate the loss with the families.
