Ground Zero

While we were so close to New York City we decided to take the Metro in to see Ground Zero. When 911 happened we were living in Tennessee. We will never forget that day just like many. It hit our hearts in an amazing way. We had many firefighters, ambulances, and many more from our town who went up to help. We heard many stories and even recorded the news on video tapes. Our hearts went out to them and we longed to do something for them.

So we decided to go see how it looked almost 8 years later. We never imagined how much damage there really was. Talk about a HUGE hole in the ground. We couldn't figure out why it took so long to clean up and then discuss which would take place on the hole. But going there we learned why. It was HUGE. They now are building new buildings and where the twin towers once were. They are putting square waterfall around the base with everyones name. So that will be the memorial. It looks super nice and we will have to head back when finished but it looks like they still have a long way to go.

It is just amazing how much it impacted our nation. Our hearts go out to all the many heroes and all the many lives that were taken. You will all be remember.

Until the memorial is finished they do have a WTC Tribute Center that we went into which was really nice! But our children felt the peace and was so thankful for the gospel. In knowing we can be together forever and will see each other again someday!

Our hearts are with you all and our Nation!
