Americans across the country came together on Sept. 11 to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 terror attacks, which killed nearly 3,000 people, wounded thousands more, and left an indelible scar on the nation’s psyche.

Observances were planned across the country—from a wreath-laying in Portland, Maine, to flags flying at half-staff at the Washington Monument—marked by a sea of statues, 9/11 plaques, and sorrowful Americans vowing never to forget the deadliest act of terrorism on U.S. soil.
