As survivors, friends and family of those killed in the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001 arrived at a remembrance ceremony at the Pentagon on Sunday, the noise from jetliners bound for Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport drowned out conversation, and served as a somber reminder of the crash that took so many lives that day. But at 9:37 a.m. -- silence.

9/11 triggered revolutionary changes in America's military

In the first hours after the Sept. 11 attacks, U.S. commanders understood they confronted a new enemy: one without borders, but capable of projecting power around the globe. Over the next 10 years the American military would confront terrorists and insurgents across a vast international battlefield who were no match for America's technology, but who were adept at fighting an asymmetrical, open-ended war. Read More

U.S. Marine Corps 1st Lt. Ryan Raftery watched the events of 9/11 unfold on television during math class at Bishop Ireton High School, in Alexandria -- just a few miles from the Pentagon. "It changed my life," said Raftery, now 25, and stationed in Helmand province in Afghanistan, during a phone interview this week.

NEW YORK -- Charles Wolf never heard from his wife again after the morning of Sept. 11. And her body was not recovered.

Pain remains 10 years after wife died at Pentagon
 
Donn Marshall returned to the Pentagon on Sunday, 10 years to the day after he was forced to walk away from the building without his wife, Shelley.
 
NEW YORK -- Fatherless children, parents who outlived their youngest and other tearful family members on Sunday recited the names of the nearly 3,000 Sept. 11 dead in a solemn but inspiring display marking the 10th anniversary of the nation's deadliest terrorist attacks.

SHANKSVILLE, PA. -- Bells rang out over a field of yellow and white wildflowers as, one by one, or in groups, they crossed the platform.  Family and friends of the victims of United Airlines Flight 93 read the names of their loved ones to thousands of visitors and fellow Americans on the 10th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks.

A decade later, America remains the exceptional nation

Examiner Editorial 09/10/11 8:05 PM
It is impossible for any American of a certain age to think of Sept. 11, 2001, without recalling what they were doing and when they realized that the first airliner crashing into the World Trade Center was not a wayward Cessna. Only later did we learn it was the opening move in the worst terrorist attack ever against the United States. Similarly, for the families and friends of those who died in the attack or in trying to rescue those trapped in its flames, memories of that day a decade later are mostly of the last precious moments spent with a lost loved one. Read More
