This was a visit to ground zero for the first annual rememberance ceremony. The President placed a wreath at the site. Those in attendance were only the family members of those that lost their lives.
This view is of the ramp leading down into the pit.
All along the ground throughout the pit were letters to loved ones, pictures and belongins left in rememberance from family and friends. In the center, in which you see here, are flowers and wreaths.
Major Montanus (Marine) was the military aide on duty that day and was tasked to hold the wreath that was to be placed by the President.
This is the plaque that the President presented.
I know it is hard to see, but the President are First Lady are the two people walking down the ramp about mid-way.
This was draped on an adjacent building.
