September 11, 2001.
It’s a day so powerful that it can be abbreviated to three numbers. Yet, those numbers alone can tell the tale of both immense suffering and incredible resilience. 9/11: The day America was united by tragedy.
In the years that followed, towns and cities across the country commemorated the events of that fateful day via new traditions, a National Day of Service and various memorials and tributes. Below, you can view several of those memorials — including the crash site in Shanksville, PA, Liberty Park in NJ and the Sept. 11 Memorial in NYC — in various stage of construction.
All of the memorial sites bear the scars of that day, and they detail how we recovered, how we rebuilt and how we changed. For the sake of the 343 firefighters, 60 police officers, eight paramedics, 2,606 people and 246 plane passengers who perished, it is vital that we never forget.
