Hawaii marked 25 years since the September 11 attacks with a memorial ceremony, a somber moment of reflection rather than news of change.

• City and state leaders, including Governor Green, gathered at the Eternal Flame memorial in Honolulu.
• Honolulu police and fire departments joined the annual event honoring the nearly 3,000 people killed.
• The theme was passing the memory on to a generation too young to remember the day.
• Speakers stressed both the pain of the attacks and the resilience that followed.

Outlook: Ceremonies like this one will continue each year, with a growing focus on teaching younger people what happened.
