September 11 Memorial

We had meetings the morning of September 11th so we went down to Ground Zero later in the afternoon

There are actually two blue beams shooting up to the sky where the Twin Towers stood - but it is hard to tell that in our picture

The following is on a plague close to this:

"This steel t-beam was one of several found within the rubble of Building Six of the World Trade Center two days after September 11, 2001. Almost immediately, it became a symbol of hope, faith and healing for many rescue and recovery workers searching the World Trade Center site for the remains of thousands who perished in the terrorist attacks."

"The World Trade Center cross will be housed in the National September 11 Memorial Museum, as a testament to spiritual renewal in the face of tragedy and loss."

We are certainly grateful for all those who serve our country - home and abroad - to make it a better place! It was quite humbling to walk through here and feel the great loss that so many people suffered that day.
