All That Remains
My friend wanted to go down to Ground Zero and I humored her though I didn’t really want to go. I get choked up at these kinds of things. So yeah, we went down there. I couldn’t bring myself to take pictures of the actual site (where all sorts of construction is going on.) But there was interesting graffiti around the viewing area. I think that tells the story more than any photos of the actual site itself could ever do.
Do yourself a favor and click on this one and look at the big photo. Some of what is written is very profound.
This was the boldest bit of graffiti on the wall.
I found these stickers all over the fencing and barriers in the viewing area.
There is a wall next to the WTC Memorial Museum that depicts the heroics of the firefighters (the fire station is right there). The names of all the firefighters that were lost are on the wall. I watched a man make rubbings of names across the wall. I’ve seen that before at the Vietnam War Memorial and it was a moving thing then and it was definitely a moving thing now.
