NEW YORK, NEW YORK -- Today marks the eighth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. In New York moments of silence and the reading of the names of those killed when terrorists flew planes into the Twin Towers.
Almost 3,000 lives lost when terrorists attacked the United States.
Eight years later the pain still lingers and efforts live on to make sure those who were lost are not forgotten.
At the Pentagon Memorial a ceremony was hosted by President Barack Obama and Defense Secretary Robert Gates, and a celebration of heroism in Shanksville Pennsylvania where Flight 93 went down after passengers overtook terrorists onboard.
