It began today with a heroes' walk where family of Flight 93 passengers line the national memorial's walking trails, telling stories of their loved ones.

The service includes a speech from First Lady Jill Biden and a reading of names of the passengers on board Flight 93.

If you're planning to go to the ceremony, she suggests arriving about an hour early and planning for rain.

Memorial public information office Katie Hostetler says if you can't commemorate 9/11 in person, there are many other ways to pay your respects.

“It’s so important for us to continue remembering that day, the events, and the people that lost their lives so that the future generation doesn’t forget what happened.”

The ceremony will also be streamed on the memorial's Youtube page beginning at 9:45.
