America survives. Ten years after the 9-11 attack, as the 9-11 Tribute is being constructed, America remembers 150 years since its own Civil War. In the days following the 9-11-2001 attack, many recalled the attack on Pearl Harbor. In times of adversity throughout America's history, it survived. May America through her people continue to meet the need, continue to persevere, continue to value freedom, and continue to ensure the same opportunities for future generations of America. The people pledge allegiance to the United States of America and strive to be one nation under God with liberty and justice for all. Reliable undisputed death toll numbers excluding hijackers have been used, but the official and unofficial 9-11 death toll remains elusive, and the number of people in New York City killed by the attack will never be known.
