When we visit the memory of 9 11, we thread on sacred ground. 13 years ago the world watched on a clear Tuesday Morning as we suffered loss we could not possibly have imagined and witnessed heroism we will never forget. Today, we come together once more in reverence to those sacred memories, to help consecrate those Sacred Places where so many lives were lost and so many were saved.
