Powerful images from the 9/11 memorial (NYC)

I remember exactly what I was doing 10 years ago. I may have moved a half dozen times since then, but I'll always be a NY'er. Thank you to all the first responders. The firefighters, police, emergency personnel, volunteer & average citizens who tirelessly worked to keep us safe then & continue to do so today. To the innocent victims that were just going to work that morning 10 years ago, you won't ever be forgotten. Thank you to all the service men & women fighting abroad, from all branches.
