Speaking at the same ceremony, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said that “like those on 9/11, you will never be forgotten.”
Vice President JD Vance canceled a trip to New York for 9/11 commemorations so he could meet with Kirk's grieving family in Utah.
Memorial events for 9/11 were held at Ground Zero in Manhattan where the World Trade Center's twin towers were destroyed in coordinated attacks that also saw a jetliner crashed into the Pentagon.

Mamdani holds a 22-point lead in the race, according to the latest polling from The New York Times and Siena.
