Over the years, our family has visited each of the national memorials to the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, as part of our annual summer vacations. The experiences were unforgettable, stark and emotional.
In this image from 2017, a lone flower sits atop the memorial to those who died in the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center in New York City on Sept. 11, 2001.
A black granite walkway represents the final trajectory of Flight 93, which crashed a few hundred yards from this spot at what is the Flight 93 National Memorial near Shanksville, Pa.
Among the items on display in a small museum at the Flight 93 National Memorial is a work badge from Todd Beamer, who helped lead a revolt against the hijackers.
This platform at the Flight 93 National Memorial overlooks the crash site and is part of a 2,200-acre property dedicated to remembering those who died in a plane crash here on Sept. 11, 2001.
