Joseph Philistin brought his two sons to a Catholic church that was one of thousands of buildings reduced to rubble on Jan. 12, 2010, when a magnitude-7.0 quake left much of Port-au-Prince and surrounding areas in ruins.

President Michel Martelly placed a bouquet of white flowers at a mass burial site that's been turned into an official memorial for those killed.
