CAROL COSTELLO, CNN ANCHOR: We're just about two hours away from the start of the ceremony at ground zero. Let's go there live now. Deborah Feyerick is standing by. Good morning -- Deborah.</s>DEBORAH FEYERICK, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Good morning, Carol. Well, this is a day not only to commemorate the 3,000 people who lost their lives two years ago, but leaders say it's also a day to remember the courage and resiliency of Americans who have gone on following those attacks. Thousands of families and friends are already making their way here to the World Trade Center site. For many, they consider this ground holy. It is a very sacred place for them. It is the place where their loved ones were last alive, where they spent their final moments. Only half of those who died have actually been identified. DNA for many of the remains was destroyed by the fire and the conditions here at ground zero. All of the remains will be interred as part of a memorial. The hope is, is that one day perhaps in the future testing will be developed that can identify those body parts. For many people here, it is still very real. There is no way to use the word "closure," because the wound is still very raw. It is still very open. People have gone on with their lives. But there is a great sense of loss, a great sense of absence, and that is something that the children here today, who will read the names of the mothers and the fathers, the sons, the daughters, the husbands and wives, that is something that they will remember and reflect on in this very somber ceremony -- Carol.</s>COSTELLO: Deborah Feyerick reporting live from ground zero this morning.
