Marie Ralston places flowers at the base of a tree near the site where
a jetliner crashed into the Pentagon six months ago, March 11, 2002, as
her husband Kenneth and daughter Christine stand close by. As political
leaders such as President Bush and New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg
vowed "to make a better world," people gathered at emotional ceremonies
in New York, where two hijacked planes destroyed the World Trade
Center; in Virginia, where a third hijacked plane struck the Pentagon
and in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, where a fourth hijacked plane crashed
to the ground. REUTERS/Win McNamee
