WASHINGTON (AP) - At 8:46 a.m., President Bush will mark seven
years since the 9/11 attacks with a moment of silence at the White
House.
That's the exact minute the first hijacked airplane slammed into
the World Trade Center in 2001. Every year since then, Bush has
stood in silence on the South Lawn to remember the nearly 3,000
people who died at the World Trade Center in New York, the Pentagon
and a field in Shanksville, Pennsylvania.
Bush will also be on hand to dedicate a new memorial at the
Pentagon.
That ceremony will include a wreath laying, music and a reading
of the names of those who died on Flight 77 and inside the
building.
The Pentagon memorial has 184 benches over small reflecting
pools, one for each life lost.
