A new exhibition at the 9/11 Memorial & Museum is helping to commemorate the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, and honor the nearly 3,000 lives lost on that day.

On Monday, organizers unveiled the exhibit titled, "In Their Honor: 25 Years of 9/11-Inspired Service," which explores the legacy of service.

The unveiling came nearly two weeks before the annual 9/11 ceremony in Lower Manhattan.

According to the 9/11 Memorial and Museum, there are now 100 million Americans who were not alive when the terrorist attacks occurred on Sept. 11, 2001.

Organizers said this year’s ceremony will include a new seventh moment of silence to honor those who lost their lives to 9/11-related illnesses.

“We’ve now lost more people to 9/11-related illnesses than who actually passed away on that day,” said Logan Miller, a 9/11 family member. “I think that community is one that is continuing to evolve and unfold. I think it’s something that is not talked about as much when you think about 9/11, but it’s had a huge impact, not only on the city, but people around the world.”

The new exhibit opens to the public on Sept. 12.

News 12 will have a series of reports ahead of next week’s 9/11 ceremony. Be sure to check those out on-air and online.
