Twenty-five years ago, the America that many knew would change forever.
Sept. 11, 2001, marked the first major attack on U.S. soil since Pearl Harbor in 1941.

On that day, 2,983 men, women and children were killed after planes crashed into the World Trade Center towers, an attack at the Pentagon and the crash of United Airlines Flight 93 in Pennsylvania.
The 9/11 Memorial website says organizers will hold their annual ceremony on Friday, where the names of those lost will be read aloud. They will also hold several moments of silence signifying each attack, as well as a moment of silence honoring those who passed following health effects due to the attacks.
