Monday marked the 22nd year since that horror. Families of loved ones lost in the crumbled twin tower buildings, “will never forget” that ugliness.

 

The act of terrorism on the United States that day caused the deaths of 2,996 individuals, which include 2,997 victims. And, there were 19 hijackers who committed murder-suicide.

 

Apart from the nearly 3,000 casualties , more than 6,000 were injured in the worst attack against America.

 

America continues to honor the memories of the lost lives who perished in New York City, Arlington, Va., and Shanksville, Pa.
