Americans are looking back on the horror and legacy of 9/11, gathering Monday at memorials, firehouses, city halls and elsewhere to observe the 22nd anniversary of the deadliest terror attack on U.S. soil.
Commemorations stretch from the attack sites - at New York's World Trade Center, the Pentagon and Shanksville, Pennsylvania - to Alaska and beyond. President Joe Biden is due at a ceremony on a military base in Anchorage.
The predominantly rural county of 25,000 people holds not just one but two anniversary commemorations: a morning service focused on first responders and an evening ceremony honoring all the victims. New Jersey's Monmouth County, which was home to some 9/11 victims, made Sept. 11 a holiday this year for county employees so they could attend commemorations.
James Giaccone signed up to read again this year in memory of his brother, Joseph Giaccone, 43. The family attends the ceremony every year to hear Joseph's name.In their own words: Firsthand accounts from September 11, 2001"I hope I never see the day when they minimize this," he said. "It's a day that changed history."
