DALLAS – People across North Texas and the country will pause to remember the victims of the Sept. 11 terror attacks.

Wednesday marks 23 years since terrorists hijacked four planes and crashed them into the Twin Towers, the Pentagon, and a field in Pennsylvania.

Nearly 3,000 people were killed on that day in 2001.

Families who lost loved ones will observe a national moment of silence and read the names of the victims at a memorial service.

Several organizations in North Texas will also hold ceremonies and day of service events for what’s now known as Patriot’s Day.

Ambassador Matt Thomas said Wednesday’s event is a somber way to remember the lives lost on Sept. 11 and those who have served our country since then
