My sister and I travelled to New York City just 6 months after 9/11. Seeing Ground Zero and looking through the powerful exhibits at St. Paul's Chapel will be images and memories that will always remain with me.
(Thanks to nymag.com for the picture)
These are shoes left by people that were fleeing from the buildings that were late hung on tree branches. Take a moment to look at everying that appears in this picture.
Thank you to all the heroes from this day. My prayers and thoughts are still with all of those people that lost loved ones this day.

ReplyDeleteI haven't seen this photo before. What a thing to see.
ReplyDeleteThat photo is amazing. Thanks so much for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI have never seen this photo. Not quite sure exactly what happened though. People who got there late put them on the trees? Or are these the shoes they found on people who did not make it out? Either way, it is horrible. We need to remember them.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great picture... it really rings true that a picture is worth 1000 words.
ReplyDeleteSafe travels this weekend!
