Former President George W. Bush and first lady Laura Bush will appear in Shanksville, Pa., on Sept. 11 to commemorate the passengers of United Airlines Flight 93 who lost their lives 20 years ago.
Bush will deliver the keynote address at the Flight 93 National Memorial, the Bush Center said in a statement.
Passengers of United Flight 93 tried to regain control of the plane from hijackers before crashing into a field in Shanksville. The hijacking was part of an orchestrated attack on the U.S. that also targeted the World Trade Center in New York City and the Pentagon in Arlington, Va.
Later, the former president and his wife will host a screening of Bush’s new Apple-BBC documentary “9/11: Inside the President’s War Room” in Dallas, according to the news release.
The memorial will be closed to the public during the observance ceremony due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but will be available for families of passengers who were on the flight.
Attendees will be required to present proof of vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test result to attend the event. There will also be a mask mandate.
The ceremony, which will come on the 20th anniversary of the attacks, coincides with the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan and the Taliban takeover of Kabul. The Taliban is on track to regain full control of the country for the first time since 2001, when U.S. troops invaded in response to the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
The ceremony also comes after a suicide bombing at the Kabul airport on Thursday, carried out by the Islamic State's affiliate in Afghanistan, killed 13 U.S. service members and nearly 200 Afghan civilians.
No comment.
I DETEST THESE DEMOCRATS!!!
Nice to see he’s going to profit from a movie about 9/11.
What has W had to say about Biden’s performance specifically the Afghanistan withdrawal? I’m sure he has made some remarks as he is not one to shy away from giving criticism. He sure let the criticism flow with Trump.
Bush is either amazingly stupid or he has no shame.
Come to think of it, it’s probably both.
It would be a good place to hold up a sign asking him where are all the Christians that were in Iraq.
I wonder what sh!t for brains thinks of his buddy Biden’s Afghan debacle?
speaking on The Today Show on Thursday morning (April 22), Bush also talked about the contemporary Republicans who support Trump, calling them “isolationist, protectionist and, to a certain extent, nativist.”
I’d turn my back on him
911 bush school kite plane must hit steel

Great Job Brownie???
Nothing from Obama either TBall..
They prosecuted that war for 16 years between them. You’d think they would have something to say. They usually do..
Probably has tons of stock in the Xhinese companies that will be mining all that lithium in Afghanistan.
He betrayed the country to a corrupt global self appointed by elite… the CCP and owns him, Romney and the rest.
He allowed 9/11 to happen on his watch.
He was in Office longer when it happened, than Biden has been in office. So no excuses.
I hope he is cuffed and taken to Gitmo immediately after his remarks.
In eight years Bush lost two wars and collapsed the global economy.
So far Biden has 1 lost war in 9 months. If he is aiming to beat Bush’s record for most disasters by one president, he is off to a good start.
Needs FReeping.
Is Bush going to bring his girlfriend Obama? And his BFFs Bill and Hillary Clinton?
