I visited Ground Zero today bc I did not think I would be able to focus at work. Quite inspiring. After each family placed a rose at the bottom of the pit(and out of sight from me), they walked past huge crowds lining the streets to cheers and claps for those who were in uniform. Surprisingly, there were many officers from representing different countries; many from England, I would probably guess 100+ Brits from what I saw. Even they were cheered on as they walked up the street. Some of the FDNY/NYPD and the Brits actually changed helmets and were laughing as they walked together. I also got to meet many of the people who were at Ground Zero in the days following the attack inside St. Paul's Chapel, the chapel which was converted into a sleeping/massage/eating area in the days and weeks after 9/11. Some of the rescue dogs were also there, and not surprisingly, they received much of the attention. After the ceremonies, an Amish(??not sure?) choir from Ohio was singing in the street outside of St. Paul's. I was apprehensive about going at first. Now I wonder why I was at all. It was quite a nice day, except for those still feeling the raw pain, and you could that pain it some of the families eyes. Your heart had to go out to them. Brian
