Staten Island 9/11 Memorial

Staten Island, for me, has always been on the way to the Jersey Turnpike. Staten Island as a destination/day trip revealed much that I was unaware of including this memorial. The memorial is in a direct line of sight with the World Trade Center and commemorates those Staten Islanders lost on 9/11. This unique site uses a "postcard" theme with a carved profile (taken from family photographs) of each victim. Impressive and moving.....

Can it really be eleven years? Yesterday's reading of names, without the politicians, seemed very appropriate.

On the grounds of the 9/11 Memorial......In the shadow of the museum, within earshot of the waterfalls and apart from the respectful crowds, it's still the simple things that can speak the loudest.
