I went for a walk downtown yesterday and passed by Ground Zero. I’ve seen it several times, but I never seem to get used to the sight. Each time I’m overwhelmed with sadness for the tremendous loss that took place there. It’s hard to believe that 2,973 people lost their lives, and our country (and the world) changed forever that day. I think it was particularly emotional for me this time given the powerful newly released 9/11 aerial images that surfaced this week.
On a positive note, it was good to see the rebuilding efforts starting to take shape. Here’s a picture I took when I walked by last month that shows the new buildings starting to be erected.
