New York City remembers 9/11 on its 13th anniversary

On the occasion of marking the 13th anniversary of 9/11 or the bombing of Twin Towers and the World Trade Center in New York City, President Obama spoke solemnly outside the Pentagon, where 184 people lost their lives dailymail.co.uk.
He said that it has now been 13 years since the peace of an American morning was broken; thirteen years since nearly 3,000 beautiful people were taken from us; thirteen years of moments they would have shared with us; thirteen years of memories they would have made.
Incidentally, the ceremonies came just hours after President Obama had announced that he would open a new military front in the Middle East and authorize airstrikes inside Syria along with expanded strikes in Iraq as part of 'a steady, relentless effort' to root out.
The skies over Lower Manhattan lit up in the night with twin beams of blue light honoring the nearly 3,000 victims of the September 11 attacks, thus bringing to a close a somber 13th anniversary of the tragedy marked by tributes, name-reading ceremonies and moments of silence.
Along with the 'Tribute in Light' art installation meant to honor the dead, the newly completed skyscraper known as One World Trade Center shone brightly, towering over the city's scintillating skyline.
