Creating New Memories of Ground Zero

09/16/2011

The tenth anniversary of September 11th, 2001 has passed and news media coverage of the event and  abounds. I personally found it a bit difficult to watch coverage and look at some of the beautiful, yet heartbreaking photos of those mourning their loved ones at the memorial site.

In perusing some of the media covering the anniversary, I stumbled upon this great Huffington Post piece by Joe Daniels. He talked about his experiences visiting Ground Zero shortly after the attacks in 2001 and his experiences visiting the site during the anniversary this year. It's definitely worth a read, as he reflects upon the meaning of the Ground Zero site - and the new memories that can be created there.
