U.S. Marines and Sailors take part in a 9/11 memorial at the Fort McHenry National Monument and Historic Shrine in Baltimore Sept. 11, 2014. Terrorists hijacked four passenger aircraft Sept. 11, 2001. Two of the aircraft were deliberately crashed into the World Trade Center in New York; one was crashed into the Pentagon; the fourth crashed near Shanksville, Pa. Nearly 3,000 people died in the attacks. The Service members visited Baltimore to participate in the Star-Spangled Spectacular, an event in honor of the 200th anniversary of "The Star-Spangled Banner."
