Those left behind were robbed of such important and valuable people, Lord. Lord, their lives will never be forgotten, and our hearts go out to those who lost someone dear from the events of that day. We come together to lift up and pray for the families and loved ones of those who lost their lives on September 11th. Although it has been two decades, let us come together in prayer so that we may never forget the lives lost, the families affected, and the memory of September 11th. The day that began as just another Autumn day but left us shaken to our cores. It is a bond that we share not only as Americans but also as members of the human race. Everyone has a story of what they were doing the day such a horrific tragedy occurred, and that pain still resonates deeply within. It stands as memory etched within our lives forever as if time stood still. Clifford Chanin, vice president of education and public programs at the museum, said in a previous interview that “many of the images from 9/11 still convey the rawness and brutality of the attack … they still have the capacity to shock.” Warning: This gallery contains graphic content.It is hard to believe that it has been twenty years since the events of September 11, 2001. The events will complement the permanent parts of the museum that document the tragedy of that day. This year, to honor the anniversary, the National September 11 Memorial & Museum in New York City-which opened in 2014-will host its annual 9/11 Commemoration Ceremony, followed by the " Tribute in Light", in the evening, with twin beams of light representing the World Trade Center buildings illuminating the New York City skyline from 3 p.m. There are also memorials near the Pentagon and in Stoystown, Pennsylvania. Now, the site of the New York City attacks is home to One World Trade Center, the tallest building in the Western Hemisphere and a marker of resilience in the face of tragedy. As the years pass, suffering continues alongside the memorializing-among those who lost loved ones and by survivors who sustained injuries or who were forever changed by the horrific events-even as the country, and the world, changes. Nearly 3,000 people in New York, Virginia, and Pennsylvania lost their lives on 9/11 after terrorists orchestrated by Osama bin Laden hijacked airplanes as weapons. Seventeen years later, the attacks of September 11, 2001, are still fresh in the memories of many Americans.
