September 11 Ground Zero site


I took this picture last October when we visited New York City.  I wanted to visit Ground Zero, the site of 9/11 tragedy.  This year marks the 10 year anniversary. 

Recently we watched a Discovery Channel special “Rising:  Rebuilding Ground Zero.”  For much of the past year the people involved with rebuilding Tower One had set a goal of building one floor every week.  Those involved want Tower One to be a visible part of the downtown Manhattan skyline by this September 11 with the completion of the building scheduled for 2013. 

During the Discovery channel program, the people interviewed said similar thoughts in different words, our country needs this place to be both a memorial and a declaration of the American spirit.  We were wounded and we lost citizens, but we are not defeated.  This building will rise again.
