Obama Promises Justin Bieber Meetup for 9/11 Family Member
After laying a wreath Thursday at the World Trade Center site in Lower Manhattan, President Barack Obama lingered to talk with several people who lost family members in the 9/11 attacks.

Among them was 14-year-old Payton Hall, who had written the president a letter about her father, Glen James Wall, who was killed in the Trade Center attacks. Each day, White House staff give the president 10 letters from the public to read on a variety of topics, and on Monday, Payton’s was in the batch.

The White House invited Payton to attend–only to learn that her mother had no clue that her daughter had written the letter. She attended, along with her mother, Diane; sister, Avery, 12 years old; and a friend, Madison Robertson, who also lost her father that day. All four stood behind Obama during the moment of silence.
