9/11





We spent Thursday at Ground Zero. It is hard to write about. The destruction and loss of lives becomes so much more personal when you are here. All during the week, we had seen reminders of 9/11, though out the city.






The fire vehicle in the photo was driving through our neighborhood and has names of fallen firefighters from that station painted on the window. The fire station in Brooklyn had a memorial display - they lost 12 men. The firehouse closest to WTC had the photos of all 343 who died posted outside the station. The plaque there said "Dedicated to Those who Fell and to Those Who Carry On".
