The National 9/11 Memorial

The National 9/11 Memorial in New York City honors the nearly 3,000 victims of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks and the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. It consists of two large reflecting pools set in the footprints of the original Twin Towers, with waterfalls symbolizing loss and renewal. The memorial features inscribed bronze panels with victims' names and a tranquil plaza designed for reflection and remembrance. It serves as a somber, respectful space to honor those who lost their lives, commemorate resilience, and promote understanding of the events’ significance.
