On September 11th, something magical happened during a football game in New York. Jets fans joined a police officer in singing the national anthem before Sunday’s game against the Baltimore Ravens. NYPD Officer Brianna Fernandez led the song and encouraged the crowd at MetLife Stadium to sing along on the 21st anniversary of the tragic events of September 11, 2001. The song concluded with loud applause as Americans sought to “never forget” the terrorist attacks that killed nearly 3,000 people in New York, Pennsylvania, and Washington, D.C.
The opening also included a moment of silence to remember the death of the United Kingdom’s Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II that occurred on Thursday. The Queen led for more than 70 years, starting in 1952 until her passing at the age of 96.
The events are among many ceremonies taking place on Sunday to commemorate 9/11.
The National September 11 Memorial and Museum hosted an annual ceremony in New York City. The Tribute in Light, NYC Fire Museum and Memorial Service, and Tunnel to Towers 9/11 Prayer Service are among other events in the New York area.

Don’t listen to Joe Biden and the Democrats.
We really are the greatest country in the world… the key is not allowing these sleazeball politicians to define and divide us.
Stay united, America.
