Some ways to commemorate the 9/11 anniversary this year.

Sign the beam. Add your name to the beams that will be used in the construction of the Memorial and Museum. Dates—Sept. 4 at the NY Giants game at the Meadowlands from 4 until 8 p.m.; Sept. 10 and 11 at Battery Park in Manhattan from 10 a.m. until 7 p.m. and Sept. 14 at the NY Jets game at the Meadowlands, 2 to 5 p.m.

StoryCorp’s Lower Manhattan StoryBooth is located in Foley Square on Centre Street between Worth and Duane streets, across from the U.S. Courthouse. The goal is to collect as many oral histories as possible from relatives, friends, survivors, visitors, and rescue workers about those who died in the attacks or their experiences on Sept. 11, 2001, and the 1993 World Trade Center bombings. For more information, visit http://www.storycorps.net.

Remember those who died
The official commemoration will take place at Zuccotti Park, next to the World Trade Center site at Liberty Street between Broadway and Church streets and Trinity Place. Relatives will be able to descend to the lower level of the site.

Engineers are trying to determine exactly how much of the facade was preserved when it was taken down and disassembled in 2001 so it can be returned to the site as part of a memorial to those who died in the terrorist attacks.
