Today citizens throughout the entire United States commemorated the annual anniversary of the tragic incident that occurred on September 11th, 2001 in New York City. Specifically at 8:48 am, 14 years and two minutes after a plane crashed into the World Trade Center in the north tower began this tragedy. Annually, under a canopy of white oak trees where the twin towers once lied there's a reading of the victims lives taken away. Many people usually attend, but this fourteenth year a smaller paucity attended this ceremony. Families honor their promise to never forget the victims, and do so by attending this event. I'm sure these families have a stronger relation to sympathizing this day, but others don't seem to unless it's been a milestone of 10, 25 years. In addition, the author mentions that where the towers once lied was a space, a gaping wound physically and metaphorically representing the sentiments of our nation. It's necessary to remember, and honor these victims to prevent a repetition of history.
