Battleship Cove 9-11 Memorial
Main inscription
On the 11th of September 2001, at approximately 8:30 am, an attack began against several points in the United States. By 2:00 pm that day, both towers of the World Trade Center were destroyed. A fire was raging in a partially demolished Pentagon, and a hijacked aircraft was downed in a peaceful farming field in Pennsylvania. Thousands of lives of citizens from some 80 countries in the world were extinguished. No words can possibly convey the horror that we felt or the waves of pain and anger that swept not only the United States, but the entire world. None of us will ever forget where we were on September 11, 2001. The images of that day will haunt us forever. But the images of fire and smoke, of twisted metal and panic in the streets are not the only ones we will remember. We will also remember the determined faces of the firefighters and police officers racing up the stairwells of the World Trade Center to help those trapped above. We will remember construction workers, coated in ash, searching by hand for survivors as the skeletons of skyscrapers leaned perilously above them. And we will remember

Let us pause a moment, and each in our own manner and in our hearts remember and pray for those who are no longer with us, that they rest in peace; for their relatives and loved ones, especially the children, that they have the support and strength to carry on; for our nation’s leaders, that they have the wisdom and courage to invoke justice where justice is due; and for ourselves, that we will always deeply appreciate our country and the freedom we cherish.
