While in NYC 2 weeks ago, we had the opportunity to visit the 9/11 Memorial, one week after it opened. It was incredibly breathtaking. It was moving. It was hopeful & optimistic.
The 2 footprints of the buildings are encased with these beautiful tributes - every person who perished that day is inscribed on them.
I doubted myself, adding this picture to my "daydream", yet I was so incredibly proud after I left the site, that I wanted to share that with all of you. As sad as it is to be at the site where all of these incredibly brave men & women were lost, you can't help but feel proud of this incredible tribute to them. It is a reminder that we should never forget what happened on that day in September, 10 years ago.

I hope I get to see this someday....I saw it 5 years after and it was still a big....mess.
That would be awesome to see. It's sad it exists- but is an awrsome tribute to all those who died
Very moving. I'm glad they finished it. I daydream that it never happened in the first place, but what an experience for you to be there and see it.
The first glimpse I had of the memorial was the anniversary memorial service this past year. It is a beautiful and somber memorial for those who's lives were lost. Much better than some of the other crazy ideas they had throwing around in the beginning.
Someday, when I go to NYC, I want to see this. There is just, I don't know, something amazing and special in places like this. Sad and moving. Profound. I think everyone should experience something like that, at least once in their lives.
Thanks for that picture. It is moving.
That would be amazing to see IRL. Thanks for sharing.
I've only been to NY once & it was only for a night because a flight got cancelled. I so wish I would have made it part of my trip. Just walking down the street you can feel the energy of it. I loved the pictures & you were so right to share them. It is a sad tragic thing but such a beautiful tribute & a great reminder at how amazing & heroic people can be.
I live in NJ and hope to get there one day soon!
That is incredible!
