S/O 9/11

Anabeth420

I know those of you in the NY area probably know this already, but they're in the process of building the memorial right now.

My uncle, a welder by trade, was hired to do the welding work on the fountains, which are located in the footprints of Tower 1 and Tower 2. The memorial is set to be debuted this year on Sept. 11 as part of the 10 year anniversary.

Here's an article the local paper (and my former employer) did on his work:  http://riverheadnewsreview.timesreview.com/2010/09/2241/north-fork-welder-called-to-ground-zero/

And here's a link to the memorial site, you can see a semi-live feed of the work: http://www.national911memorial.org/site/PageServer?pagename=New_Home

I've seen this.  I think it's going to be really amazing and a nice tribute.  I can't believe it's the 10 yr anniversary.

That's awesome. I'm happy to see that they're finally getting around to doing something.

It's my understanding that it's been planned/timed out this way.  Feel free (anyone) to correct me.  I first went to NYC in 2005 and Ground Zero was gated off but they had pictures/signage about the tribute.

Yea, they've been planning the memorial all along, they're in the final stages.

Ah see I knew they were planning to do something, I didn't realize they had it planned out for so long. I can't believe it's already been 10 years either.
