Nearly 3,000 people died in the 9/11 attacks, which were orchestrated by the terrorist group al-Qaida.
Two planes – American Airlines Flight 11 and United Airlines Flight 175 – each hit the World Trade Center in New York City, while American Airlines Flight 77 flew into the Pentagon in Washington D.C.
Meanwhile, United Airlines Flight 93 – hijacked by terrorists to hit the nation’s capital – crashed in a field in rural Pennsylvania.
Many of those who died on 9/11 were first responders from the New York Fire and Police departments.
Uniformed first responders and honor guards are invited to participate in Thursday’s march, organizers said.
