| This is St. Paul's Chapel, which was a haven of rest and refuge for exhausted rescue workers in the hours, days, and months following the collapse of the towers. |
 |
| It's been a place of remembrance ever since, and now that the official memorial has been dedicated—even as new towers are going up near the site of the old ones—I hope folks will continue to come here to reflect on what happened that day and on the tremendous outpouring of love and support we received from around the country and around the world. |
We remember and will never forget.

It still feels like it was yesterday.The cry and love for America was overwhelming. We all wanted to go there and help someway.The efforts of rescue where of a different kind altogether. America in its worst moment became America at its best. It will be hard to forget.
ReplyDeleteI remember seeing this beautiful chapel on the news at the time. Even from here, it looked like a haven. You're in my thoughts, Alexa. Much love.
ReplyDeletePowerful post. Thank you.

I've never been inside St. Paul's Chapel so I think it might be time to make a special trip. The banner from Oklahoma is especially touching.
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to believe it's been ten years.
