"It seems like just yesterday": U.S. marks 21st anniversary of 9/11 attacks
Americans remembered 9/11 on Sunday with tear-choked tributes, and pleas to "never forget," 21 years after the deadliest terror attack on U.S. soil.
Members of New York Fire Department raise a U.S. flag at the 9/11 Memorial in New York City on Sept. 11, 2022, on the 21st anniversary of the attacks on the World Trade Center, Pentagon and Shanksville, Pennsylvania.

Bonita Mentis set out to read victims' names at the ground zero ceremony wearing a necklace with a photo of her slain sister, Shevonne Mentis, a 25-year-old Guyanese immigrant who worked for a financial firm.

"It's been 21 years, but it's not 21 years for us. It seems like just yesterday," Mentis said. "The wounds are still fresh."
