The shadow of the flagpole falls across the clock face of the Northwest Ohio 9/11 Memorial located at the center of the 180th Fighter Wing in Swanton, Ohio, on the morning of the 15th anniversary of the attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, marking the exact time the first plane struck the north tower of the World Trade Center. The monument memorializes the loss of nearly 3,000 lives during the attacks and since. (U.S. Air National Guard photo by Staff Sgt. Shane Hughes)
