Wednesday marks 23 years since the September 11th terror attack

Overnight, the bronze plates, worn by the constant tussle of visitors, are refurbished by artisans with a torch in one hand and a touch-up brush in the other.

I still miss those twin towers a lot since my mom was planning to take me there, but it was too late as I was born over 2 years after the attacks. Never Forget. 🕊 😢

I live in Southern California. I was able to visit the memorial in 2022 for the very first time. It was so breathtaking saw the infinity pools. Seeing the names was what touched me the most. Those workers do a great job everyday preserving the sight and the name. To them I say thank you

The one memory I have when I was in second grade was this day. Kid came running in scream on top his lungs that a tower fell down. Then teacher came in and said we are all safe here

I remember a year later after this I was 12 then still fresh in my mind. Kids I work with now have no idea what happened that day I still remember exactly what and where I was and it’s crazy. Of course I was not there I live in AZ but everyone around this country who was more aware of daily life back then will always remember that dark day. I can’t imagine for the ones who lived it there that day but I hope they found peace or made peace with it. They got the man responsible but the scars are left for eternity.

I wasn’t even born yet when 9/11 happened but my parents still do this day remember where they were and what they were doing that day.

I'm from Canada and one of my bucket list items is to walk around all four sides of both towers and read the parapets of the names. I've always wondered what it feels like to be there
