NEW YORK — Fatherless children, parents who outlived their youngest and other tearful family members on Sunday recited the names of the nearly 3,000 Sept. 11 dead in a solemn but inspiring display marking the 10th anniversary of the nation’s deadliest terrorist attacks.

With the names reverberating through a silent lower Manhattan, somber family members left flowers and photos on bronze engravings of the victims, surrounded by waterfalls flowing into the former footprints of the World Trade Center’s twin towers.
