United States remembers Sept. 11 victims - The Washington Times: United Press International
United States remembers Sept. 11 victims - The Washington Times: United Press International: "NEW YORK, Sept. 11 (UPI) -- Much of the U.S. eastern seaboard will fall silent Thursday morning in memory of the 3,000 victims of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
The biggest commemoration will be at Ground Zero in New York at the exact times when each of the twin towers was hit by hijacked aircraft marked by moments of silence.
Children who lost parents will read out the victims' names.
The New York ceremony begins at 8:30 a.m. EDT and concludes at noon.
New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg said children had been chosen to lead the service because 'it is in them that the spirit of our city lives on.'
President Bush will remain in Washington to lead services for the 184 people killed at the Pentagon, where a memorial garden in honor of victims will be dedicated.
A service will also be held on the Pennsylvania hillside where 44 people died after passengers stormed the cockpit of Flight 93, overcoming the hijackers.
Thousands of smaller remembrance services will be held throughout the country."
We should all remember today . . .
