Ceremony Marks 15 Years Since Sept. 11

You will never be forgotten. “I will never forget them”, wrote another. Fifteen years later, at times it seems remembering appears to be something we have forgotten. “Thank you so much for your sacrifice”.

The NYPD marked the 15th anniversary of the World Trade Center attacks with a parade to honor the 23 officers it lost on September 11, 2001.

Two of the planes, American Airlines Flight 11 and United Airlines Flight 175, were crashed into the North and South towers, respectively, of the World Trade Center complex in New York City.

Despite a cold front moving through the Northeast, New York City, Washington D.C., and Shanksville remained dry as all of the storms remained north across New England.

In total, the attacks of 9/11 killed 2,996 people and injured more than 6,000 others. Robert Casey (D), Sen.

On Sept. 11, 2001, he didn’t go to work.

National Park Service Northeast Regional Director Mike Caldwell introduced the speakers. As the Brooklyn Youth Chorus sang the national anthem, many in the crowd held up posters and framed pictures before loudly applauding. My brother Captain Jason M. Dahl.

“(Love is) to know the needs of another and to hear their needs – their sorrows, their joys – that is true love”, Britton said. “We will destroy them”.

Almost 3,000 people died when terrorists slammed hijacked planes into the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and a field near Shanksville, Pennsylvania, on September 11, 2001.

On Sunday, the NFL and Major League Baseball were to commemorate 9/11 with appearances by military personnel and first responders and the unfurling of giant flags. He talked about his wife’s death and how it upended his family’s life, how she had sorted her personal files at home the weekend before she died, nearly as if she had a premonition she would be taken from them.

Gordon Felt, president of the families of Flight 93, said he looked forward to the 2018 completion of a tower with 40 wind chimes at the memorial site, saying “these structures “are for tomorrow’s children”. They are for those that have forgotten.

The way security operates and the way people are treated changed drastically following the attacks, he said. Flight 93 was the only one not to hit its intended target.

Toomey offered his personal gratitude to the heroes of Flight 93. It’s quite possible, he said, that those aboard Flight 93 literally saved his life. “It’s part of the aging process”, said Meehan, 73.

The coordinated plot began with the hijacking of four planes and ultimately ended with the deaths of almost 3,000 people in NY, the Washington, D.C. -area and Pennsylvania.

Cathy Cava, who lost her sister, Grace Susca Galante, has attended all 15 years. Officials later said his father died Friday afternoon.

After the ceremony, many audience members walked down to the Memorial Plaza and the Wall of Names, near the crash site, or into the memorial’s Visitor Center, which opened to the public after a private assembly of Flight 93 family members.

Hundreds of victims’ relatives and dignitaries began arriving at ground zero Sunday morning under an overcast sky that shrouded the 1,776-foot-tall top of One World Trade Center, the centerpiece of the rebuilt site. As we watched planes fly into buildings, as the magnitude of the loss enveloped us, as we learned the field in Pennsylvania was evidence of an unimaginable sacrifice those fearless souls made, our tears were a sign of the love and compassion we had for our fellow Americans.

“Fight to remember, and let your remembrances guide the way you conduct yourselves in your everyday lives”, Felt said.

For some, physical reminders of that day aren’t far from where a new generation is growing up. Be better, be braver, be stronger, more willing to stand against tyranny.
