tims at Memorial Hall :unphitheater. a

tacks. one student read a chemistry
textbook.

One year after the Sept. 11 attacks. the
UK community gathered to remember
those lost, Some students cried and
clutched wadded tissues in their hands.
Others were preoccupied with friends and
acted as if they had moved on.

At ground zero, the names took precedence.
2.801 of them read aloud, from Gordon Aamoth Jr.
to Igor Zukelman. Patriotic resolve held sway at the
Pentagon. And in a field near Shanksville, Pa., grief
was partially offset by pride.

At each of the three sites, and in communities
across the nation and world Wednesday. Americans
and their allies relived the staggering events of one
year ago and remembered those who died.

“They were our neighbors. our husbands. our
children, our sisters, our brothers and our wives.
They were our countrymen and our friends. They
were us," New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg told
grieving families at the site of the World Trade
Center.

New York’s roll call of the dead and missing be-
gan after a moment of silence at 8:46 am. EDT, the
time when the first terrorist-piloted plane struck
the trade center. It took 2 1/2 hours ~ 50 minutes
longer than planned — for 197 readers to complete
the list of names.

While wistful cello music accompanied the
ground zero ceremony, a booming rendition of the
national anthem set the tone for commemorations
at the Pentagon, where 184 people died when Ameri-
can Flight 77 smashed into the building.

“Though they died in tragedy, they did not die
in vain," declared President Bush. a fist clenched
for emphasis. “As long as terrorists and dictators
plot against our lives and our liberty. they will be
opposed by the United States Army. Navy. Coast
Guard, Air Force and Marines!"
