The Goldberg-Polin family tragically lost their son, Hersh, who was abducted by Hamas last year and later murdered by the terrorist group in August. The commemoration served as a solemn reminder of the devastating impact of terrorism on families and communities.

President Biden chose not to deliver any remarks during the ceremony and quietly exited the room following the moment of silence. The event highlighted the importance of honoring the memory of those who have lost their lives to acts of terrorism and standing in solidarity with affected families.
