No one was passed over on 9/11.

You may not have been there. You may have known no one who perished. The wars that followed ?
may have yet to come to your door.

The loss of so many lives, and the pain of so many more, has become the personal grief of ?
the entire world.

We present this place of pillars and phantom towers to everyone -- to those who lost, to ?
those who have become lost, to those who seek some cornerstone of comfort, of courage and ?
of common ground.

We have restored the memory of the WTC. We have marked the time of destruction in the ?
language of creation to show that it was a terrible moment, yet that moment is done.

And though the grief and the memory will always persist, there is yet hope and good in the ?
world.

Come, and remember that which was lost, and recall that which remains.

No one was passed over on 9/11.

Everyone was affected.

And you are so entirely welcome to remember here.

OPENING EVENTS START AT 10am SLT 09/11
