The 9/11 Memorial remembers and honors the 2,983 people who were killed in the horrific attacks of September 11, 2001 and February 26, 1993. The design, created by Michael Arad and Peter Walker, consists of two reflecting pools formed in the footprints of the original Twin Towers and a plaza of trees. The 9/11 Memorial Museum displays monumental artifacts linked to the events of 9/11, while presenting intimate stories of loss, compassion, reckoning, and recovery that are central to telling the story of the 2001 and 1993 attacks and the aftermath.

“Our Flag Was Still There” brings together a collection of American flags connected to 9/11 and the events that followed, including personal flags belonging to those who took part in the rescue and recovery efforts.

The installation reflects on the meaning these flags have carried through moments of loss, service, and resilience, while inviting a new generation to consider what they represent today. As the United States marks 250 years of independence and the 25th anniversary of 9/11, these artifacts offer a powerful reminder of the role the American flag plays in our history.

Cait Leavey was just 10 years old when she lost her father, FDNY Lt. Joseph Leavey, on September 11, 2001.

Today, Leavey continues to carry his memory forward, helping ensure that his life and legacy are not forgotten. Her story is one of the many ways the memory of September 11 lives on more than 25 years later.

On 9/11, attorney, volunteer firefighter, and Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) Glenn J. Winuk died after running toward the Twin Towers to help. Inspired by Glenn’s selflessness, his brother Jay co-founded 9/11 Day with friend David Paine to promote acts of compassion and unity and transform a day of loss into one of positive action. Today, more than 30 million people honor this federally designated day of service with good deeds “focused on our common humanity.”

This banner was signed by 9/11 Day volunteers on September 11, 2017 and is now part of our newest exhibition “In Their Honor: 25 Years of 9/11-Inspired Service,” which examines the enduring impact of service inspired by the attacks. Access to this exhibition is included with your 9/11 Museum ticket. https://ow.ly/HyjE50ZW2gV

From the Collection: Locked to a street sign on Broadway near Cedar Street, a block from the World Trade Center, this abandoned bicycle soon became an impromptu shrine to the messengers and delivery persons presumed to have been killed on 9/11. Flowers, coins, notes, and religious items were left at the makeshift memorial in the months that followed.

A tribute sign with a faded image of the Mexican flag on a piece of paper accompanied the bike. Below the flag is a bright green piece of paper with handwritten text: “In memory of the delivery boys who died | En memoria de los delivery boys que murieron | Sep 11 2001."
