9/11 Memorials And Events Across America
Communities all around the country will honor and remember those who died 18 years ago in the 9/11 attacks.
ACROSS AMERICA — Americans from all over the U.S. will join together with more than eight million New Yorkers in heartbreaking remembrance on Wednesday to pay respect to the thousands of people who lost their lives 18 years earlier on Sept. 11.
Across NYC, people will gather at memorials and other events to honor the 2,983 lives that were lost during the attacks on the World Trade Center site, the Pentagon, and aboard Flight 93 — as well as those who died in the 1993 bombing at the WTC.
The focal point of these ceremonies will take place at the World Trade Center site at 8:30 a.m. The National September 11 Memorial & Museum will read the names of those lost during the 9/11 attack in an annual remembrance event. The ceremony will begin at 8:46 a.m. after a moment of silence, when the first plane struck the north tower in 2001.

The National September 11 Memorial & Museum will also hold their annual "Tribute in Light," where they set up two beams of light that reach four miles into the sky from dusk to dawn on the night of Sept. 11. The lights can be seen from up to sixty miles away.
The rest of the country will join New York City on the 18th anniversary of the dark day, as a countless number of ceremonies are also scheduled to take place across the U.S.
