9-11 at the Firefighter’s Memorial
To mark the anniversary of 9-11 we decided to attend the memorial ceremony at the firefighter’s memorial at w100th st. It was quite moving. There were firefighters in attendance from all over the world including: Los Angeles, Belgium, New South Wales, Los Vegas, Canada, even Mirimar, FL. They read the names of all 343 firefighters who died on 9/11/01 pausing for moments of silence to mark the collapse of each tower and the crash of flight 93. It was very nicely done. Here were a few photos that I took: Saluting during the national anthem Following along as the list of 343 firefighters was read Listening to Amazing Grace being sung… Afterwards we went back to see the memorial: Some people left notes or gifts including a wreath from the London Fire Brigade There were lots of flowers (click to view bigger) Others were coming too, to see what was left, to contemplate or to take pictures…
