NEW YORKWASHINGTON, Sept. 11 (Xinhua) -- Americans, led by President Barack Obama, on Thursday commemorated 13th anniversary of the Sept. 11 Nike Air Max Plus TN Ultra Scarpe Tutte Bianche Scontate , 2001 attacks by observing moments of silence for thousands of innocent people killed that day at the World Trade Center of New York City, the Pentagon and a Pennsylvania field.
As an annual ritual, relatives began reciting names of the nearly 3,000 victims killed at a ceremony held Thursday morning in lower Manhattan, New York City. They paused six moments after a silver bell was rung to mark the timing when each plane hit the twin towers and when each tower fell, as well as the timing of the attacks on the Pentagon and on Flight 93 that crashed into the Pennsylvania field.
With tolling of the bell, a moment of silence was observed.
While addressing the relatives of the 184 people killed in the attack carried on the Department of Defense Headquarters Donna Scarpe Nike Air Max TN Bianche Scontate , President Obama said they had offered "the ultimate rebuke to the hatred of those who attacked us that bright, blue morning."
"Thirteen years after small and hateful minds conspired to break us. America stands tall and America stands still," said Obama. "No matter what comes our way, America will always come out stronger." "We carry on, because, as Americans, we do not give in to fear -- ever."
Before that Donne Nike Air Max TN Scarpe Nere Rosa Scontate , President Obama and First Lady Michelle, who were joined by Vice President Joseph Joe Biden and White House staff, also gathered under partly cloudy skies on the South Lawn of the White House and observed a moment of silence at 8:46 a.m. of the day, the time when the first hijacked airliner struck the World Trade Center in New York City.
The National September 11 Memorial and Museum in lower Manhattan, New York, where artifacts and graphic photos on the attacks are displayed, has been opened to the public for the first time since May.
