In an emotional ceremony, New York laid the cornerstone of the new Freedom Tower, promising it will reclaim the city's skyline, altered after the destruction of the World Trade Center in 2001.

"Today is indeed a momentous day," said Gov. George Pataki at the ceremony to break ground for what is expected to be the tallest skyscraper in the world. The new Freedom Tower will stand where the World Trade Center towers once stood.

"Today we take 20 tons of Adirondack granite -- the bedrock of our state -- and place it as the foundation, the bedrock of a new symbol of American strength and confidence," Pataki said. "Today, we lay the cornerstone for a new symbol of this city and this country and of our resolve in the face of terror."

An inscription on the cornerstone reads, "To honor and remember those who lost their lives on September 11th, 2001 and as a tribute to the enduring spirit of freedom -- July Fourth 2004."

Freedom Tower is designed to be 1,776 feet tall -- to mark the year of American independence from Great Britain. It's scheduled to be finished in 2008.
