September 11, 2001 shall forever remain one of the most important events of modern history, carrying forward for generations deep-rooted sentiments of anguish, pain and loss but also perseverance, hope and freedom.
The 9/11 Memorial is a symbol of strength and perseverance of the American spirit. The Memorial has had more than 6 million visitors since opening in September 2011. The Memorial includes two enormous reflection pools that feature 30-foot waterfalls and sit within the footprints of the Twin Towers. The pools are ringed with bronze inscribed with the names of the nearly 3,000 men, women and children killed in the terror attacks of September 11, 2001 and February 26, 1993.
