The terrorist attacks on the United States of America left many people with so many mixed emotions and questions about how to deal with such a tremendous loss. Many grew with each other, some grew apart, but all were changed. The psychological and emotional damage done to so many is irrevocable. The tragic events of last year impacted the entire world, forever changed many lives, and erupted a volcano of emotions in thousands of people. Now, after one year of suffering, we will reflect upon and endure various tasks in light of remembering the victims of September 11th. .
Most people in the United States have been changed in someway by the events of one year ago. The people of New York were especially affected by the tragedy because of the 3,000 lives lost, most were from the New York area. After one year of rebuilding the city, living without loved ones, and growing as a community, the city of New York remembers those who died and the tragic events that occurred last year. Over two-and-a-half-hours, the names of victims were read aloud by various people of importance, beginning with former mayor Rudolph Giuliani. Family members, friends, co-workers, and strangers of the victims were present to share in their suffering and grief. After the conclusion of the names, those present marched to ground zero to pay their respects. As told to The New York Times by Dan Barry, individuals placed, " a funeral wreath here, a photograph there. Many built small, almost primitive memorials by propping up photographs with mounds of pebbles; many took pebbles or fistfuls of dirt to bring with them."" No matter how an individual grieved, they knew that they weren't alone in the process. So many people lost loved ones that day, it becomes a necessary part of the grieving process to share together the similar emotions and thoughts they are experiencing. In doing so, the city of New York became more closely connected with one another; other cities in the nation couldn't possible understand what it was like to be a New Yorker at this time.
