This is not an award winning photograph, but behind the doors of this church there stands many heartbreaking, but empowering memories of September 11, 2001. As I looked through the photographs I have taken in my library, I came across my senior trip to New York in 2007. During the trip my classmates and I got the opportunity to go to the temporary memorial at Ground Zero, as well as this church down the road. I wish I could remember the name of this remarkable church, but instead I will always remember the memories and the piece of history I witnessed inside its walls. This church served as a hospital for people escaping the falling towers. Inside, there are photographs, banners with encouraging words, badges of firemen and police officers that played a significant role that day, and so much more. I thought with tomorrow marking the ten year anniversary that this photograph was appropriate. I will always remember the flood of emotions I felt as I stood in this church. The pain, the hope, and the love could still be felt so many years later.
