Who will forget the date Sept. 11? It is marked in the worldwide history as the day when lives are lost because of terrorist attacks against the U.S. Thirteen years after, what's left of the memories of this unfortunate event?

Boston Globe reported about the names etched in the pink granite in the Garden of Remembrance at Boston Public Garden now fading. What will the families of the 206 people who had relations with Massachusetts and who had lost their lives because of the terrorist attacks feel if they see it deteriorating?

"It's heartbreaking, like the names are being washed away. This is a memorial that should be maintained," told Keith Graveline of Easton to Boston Globe.

In another report by CBS News, the Sept. 11 museum added new significant emblems days before the anniversary of Sept. 11 this year. The shirt worn by a Navy SEAL during the raid that killed Osama bin Laden is now displayed for the public to see. Also adding interest to the museum visitors is a distinctive coin given to a CIA officer who played an important role in the capture of bin Laden. These two now give opportunity to millions of people to have a glimpse of the history of the terrorist attacks and to give recognition to those men and women who served the country.

The president of the National Sept. 11 Memorial Museum, Joe Daniels, said, "The death of Osama bin Laden is a huge part of the history, and we have an absolute obligation to tell it."

New York City, on the other hand, will have Tribute in Light, according to Philly.com. This showcases "two beams of bright light shining into the sky to represent the fallen twin towers". This will be located right where the twin towers are stood. According to reports, it can be viewed for up to 25 miles away.

Washington D.C. will hold its yearly 9/11 Unity Walk on Sept. 21, 2014. On Sept. 7, there will be Empty Sky Memorial Ceremony at Liberty State Park.

Relive the memories of Sept. 11 or pay tribute to men and women who have lost their lives for the country by planning your visits to these memorial locations: Flight 93 National Museum, The National 9/11 Pentagon Memorial, and the National September 11 Memorial
