 Today marked the 10th Anniversary of one of the most fatal incidents to hit America, 9/11. Today, many memorials have been taking place across the United States.

One of the most touching tributes took place in New York City at the World Trade Center site, the place where two of the four terrorist invaded planes crashed. The Memorial included the naming of those who lost their lives on this day by their relatives, some being children who never even got to know their parents/loved ones.

"God is Our Refuge and Strength," President Barack Obama said while speaking at the ceremony, quoting from Psalm 46. The current United States President, Obama, was joined at the ceremony by his predecessor, George W. Bush.

Many weeping relatives of the victims placed flowers and pictures beside names etched in bronze at the newly opened memorial.
