FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 2008 AT 10:49 AM
Yesterday we accompanied Mom and Dad to a September 11th memorial ceremony at Ground Zero in New York City. Mom and Dad met with Senator Obama and they accompanied New York Mayor Mike Bloomberg to the temporary memorial that exists in the middle of the construction site where the towers once stood. It was a day of somber reflection and remembrance.
The view from the very top of the ramp leading down to the main construction area.
It is one of the largest construction areas I have ever seen.
Photographers waiting to photograph Dad and Senator Obama.
Signs next to the flags of nations that have been placed along the ramp.
You can see Mom, Dad, Mayor Bloomberg and Senator Obama walking down the ramp in the middle of the photo.
Dad and Senator Obama.
Mom and Mayor Bloomberg followed closely behind.
Right before the memorial ceremony.
What a shot.
Nearing the top of the ramp.
There was a crowd of people waiting to meet everyone.
Meeting New York's finest.
This woman had a special message for Dad.
Chatting with Lindsey Graham.
Dad takes a moment to acknowledge the crowd below.
Mayor Bloomberg tells some stories.
A final word with Senator Obama.
Shaking hands.
Saying goodbye to Mom.
