Video above: Moment of silence held in NYCAmericans remembered 9/11 on Sunday with tear-choked tributes, and pleas to 바카라 게임 웹사이트�never forget," 21 years after the deadliest terror attack on U.S. soil.The loss still feels immediate to Bonita Mentis, who wore a necklace with a photo of her slain sister, Shevonne Mentis."It's been 21 years, but it's not 21 years for us. It seems like just yesterday," she said before reading victims' names at the World Trade Center to a crowd that included Vice President Kamala Harris and husband Doug Emhoff.At the Pentagon, which also was targeted on 9/11, President Joe Biden vowed that the U.S. would continue working to root out terrorist plots and called on Americans to stand up for 바카라 게임 웹사이트�the very democracy that guarantees the right to freedom that those terrorists on 9/11 sought to bury in the burning fire, smoke and ash.바카라 게임 웹사이트� First lady Jill Biden spoke at the third attack site, a field near Shanksville, Pennsylvania.Video below: Pentagon 9/11 remembrance ceremonyOn Sept. 11, 2001, al-Qaida conspirators seized control of jets to use them as passenger-filled missiles. The attacks killed nearly 3,000 people, reconfigured national security policy and spurred a U.S. 바카라 게임 웹사이트�war on terror바카라 게임 웹사이트� worldwide. Sunday's observances came little more than a month after a U.S. drone strike killed a key al-Qaida figure who helped plot the 9/11 attacks, Ayman al-Zawahri. Pierre Roldan, who lost his cousin Carlos Lillo, a paramedic, said 바카라 게임 웹사이트�we had some form of justice바카라 게임 웹사이트� when a U.S. raid killed Osama bin Laden in 2011.바카라 게임 웹사이트�Now that Al-Zawahri is gone, at least we바카라 게임 웹사이트�re continuing to get that justice,바카라 게임 웹사이트� Roldan said.The self-proclaimed mastermind of the attacks, Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, still awaits a long-postponed military tribunal. An attorney for one of Mohammed바카라 게임 웹사이트�s co-defendants this week confirmed ongoing negotiations toward a potential agreement to avoid a trial and impose lesser but still lengthy sentences.The Sept. 11 attacks also stirred 바카라 게임 웹사이트� for a time 바카라 게임 웹사이트� a sense of national pride and unity for many, while subjecting Muslim Americans to years of suspicion and bigotry and engendering debate over the balance between safety and civil liberties. In ways both subtle and plain, the aftermath of 9/11 ripples through American politics and public life to this day.But like some other victims' relatives, Jay Saloman fears that Americans' consciousness of 9/11 is receding.바카라 게임 웹사이트�It was a terrorist attack against our country that day. And theoretically, everybody should remember it and, you know, take precautions and watch out," said Saloman, who lost his brother. By tradition, no political figures speak at the ground zero ceremony. The observance centers, instead, on relatives reading aloud the names of the dead.Like a growing number of readers, firefighter Jimmy Riches바카라 게임 웹사이트� namesake nephew wasn바카라 게임 웹사이트�t born yet when his relative died. But the boy took the podium to honor him. 바카라 게임 웹사이트�You바카라 게임 웹사이트�re always in my heart. And I know you are watching over me,바카라 게임 웹사이트� he said after reading a portion of the victims바카라 게임 웹사이트� names.Video below: President Biden attends wreath laying at the PentagonNikita Shah wore a T-shirt that bore the de facto epigraph of the annual commemoration 바카라 게임 웹사이트� 바카라 게임 웹사이트�never forget바카라 게임 웹사이트� 바카라 게임 웹사이트� and the name of her slain father, Jayesh Shah.The family later moved to Houston but often returns to New York for the anniversary to be "around people who kind of experienced the same type of grief and the same feelings after 9/11,바카라 게임 웹사이트� said Shah. She was 10 when her father was killed.Readers often add personal remarks that form an alloy of American sentiments about Sept. 11 바카라 게임 웹사이트� grief, anger, toughness, appreciation for first responders and the military, appeals to patriotism, hopes for peace, occasional political barbs, and a poignant accounting of the graduations, weddings, births and daily lives that victims have missed. A few readers note recent events, this year ranging from the still ongoing coronavirus pandemic to Russia's war in Ukraine.Some relatives also lament that a nation which came together 바카라 게임 웹사이트� to some extent 바카라 게임 웹사이트� after the attacks has since splintered apart. So much so that federal law enforcement and intelligence agencies, which were reshaped to focus on international terrorism after 9/11, now see the threat of domestic violent extremism as equally urgent.바카라 게임 웹사이트�It took a tragedy to unite us. It should not take another tragedy to unite us again,바카라 게임 웹사이트� said Andrew Colabella, whose cousin, John DiGiovanni, died in the 1993 bombing World Trade Center bombing that presaged 9/11. Video below: First Lady Jill Biden speaks at Flight 93 MemorialCommunities around the country marked the day with candlelight vigils, interfaith services and other commemorations, and some Americans joined in volunteer projects. Others observed the anniversary with their own reflections. More than 70 of Sekou Siby바카라 게임 웹사이트�s co-workers perished at Windows on the World, the restaurant atop the trade center바카라 게임 웹사이트�s north tower. He had the day off because another cook asked him to switch shifts.바카라 게임 웹사이트�Every 9/11 is a reminder of what I lost that I can never recover," says Siby, now president of ROC United, a restaurant workers바카라 게임 웹사이트� advocacy group. He said ahead of the anniversary that the attacks made him wary of becoming attached to people when 바카라 게임 웹사이트�you have no control over what바카라 게임 웹사이트�s going to happen to them next.바카라 게임 웹사이트�Ginny Barnett volunteered at the Shanksville site after the attacks and struggled for years to come to terms with the tragedy. She gradually found hope by volunteering for the memorial there now.바카라 게임 웹사이트�I have seen firsthand the evil that man can do, but I have also seen the good that man can do,바카라 게임 웹사이트� Barnett said Sunday. "With God바카라 게임 웹사이트�s help, we can focus on and foster good, rather than let hate and anger consume us.바카라 게임 웹사이트�
