In visiting the 9/11 Memorial Museum in New York City, I was taken right back to September 11th, one of the worst days in our country’s history. The horrific events of 9/11 brought shock, sadness, disbelief, and fear. But, the days following 9/11 exposed personal stories and examples of goodness and hope. I relived each of these emotions while I was walking through the memorial exhibition halls.
These photos speak not only to the physical depth of the actual structures, the distance between surface and bottom, they also represent the depth of emotion experienced when remembering September 11, 2001.
