It's been 25 years since the 9/11 terror attacks on America. On Friday, the nation will remember those lost on that fateful day and take a moment of silence in their memory.

On this quarter-century anniversary of the attacks, the 9/11 Memorial & Museum will add a seventh moment of silence to honor those who have died of illnesses related to their time at or near the World Trade Center site.

Dear Citizens,

We are aware of the wasps at the park and are actively addressing the issue as we locate their nests. The wasps are currently nesting inside the yellow fence protectors.

Please use caution while in the park and let us know if you see any other active nests so we can address them.

Thank you for your patience and cooperation!
