Two images that come to mind for me are pics of the World Trade Center and Ground Zero. Everyone in the entire world has some form of emotion when they see pictures of either of these images. Chills come over me everytime I see an old photograph of the twin towers. Sometimes you can catch a glimps of what used to be a highlight of the New York skyline in an older movie. 
During their existance, held little meaning for most people; but their absence is now felt all over the world. Ground Zero is all that is left of our World Trade Center. These two images have meaning to everyone in the world in some shape, form, or fashion. What these images mean to different people, depends on their connection to these images. For me, the meaning of these two images represents bravery, honor, sacrifice, and also sadness, sorrow and humility. I feel that most Americans share similar meanings as me of these two images only a difference of degree.
