President Joe Biden spent the anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks traveling from Vietnam to Alaska, opting not to visit one of the attack sites on Monday.
The White House justified Biden’s absence by telling Fox News that 22 years after Pearl Harbor, presidents were not still visiting Hawaii. As it turns out, this was a factual error.
President John F. Kennedy visited the USS Arizona Memorial on the 22nd anniversary of Pearl Harbor in 1963, laying a wreath to commemorate those who perished on that infamous day. In 2021, just a year earlier, the president and first lady visited all three attack sites: Manhattan; Shanksville, Pennsylvania; and Arlington, Virginia.
