World Trade Center Memorial Museum Taking Shape

With summer being here, I have not been blogging as much and will probably continue that trend through the next few months. So much to do outside when it is nice.

Everyone remembers Sept. 11, 2001.

The folks who are trying to create a memorial to the many souls that were lost that awful day are getting closer to realizing their dream for an everlasting memorial to those people and that day.
The director of this effort talks about her experience in this initial "inaugural" podcast (an audio broadcast over the internet).

Build the Memorial: podcast

I can only say that a project of this magnitude is important for our collective conscience the entire world over. So that what happened is never forgotten.

I for one am looking so forward to visiting this memorial when it is complete. I got to see the site when I was out in New York this last fall and it completely took my breath away.
(The photos above were taken by me when I was out there last November visiting the site. There is signage on some of the buildings next to the site talking about the memorial and plans for it's contstruction. I also took some video but still have to reformat the video to allow it to be shown on a computer. I will hopefully be doing that soon.)

The sheer magnitude of what happened on that day has still not fully sunk in for millions of people and even after personally visiting the site myself, I still do not think that I can comprehend all that happened on that day in September of 2001 that forever changed our world.

A good Tuesday to all.
