Both these expressions, to me, seem to take the humanity out of the individuals. I do not like either expression.<br /><br />CaT, you mention that there might come a time when there will not be queues or security or time restraints. This will only happen, I suspect, when the memorial no longer speaks to the American population. I do not think that will ever occur.<br /><br />There has been a lot of work and thought go into the biography of Howley. I wonder if this was the same for each and every person who died. I catch a hint of 'rose coloured glasses' in this, but I guess that is to be expected from those who suffer up close with this tragedy.<br /><br />I do not expect to ever visit this memorial. To my mind it is very much a memorial, and an event, that speaks to the hearts and minds of Americans. I would find the memorial too overwhelming by far.<br /><br />Now to look at your other images. <br /><br />My guess is that there are more visitors during the summer months, too. It must take forever to visit the memorial. I would spend so much time reading about the individuals.<br /><br />Thank you for posting on this. It is a most salutary memorial.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09513648613788716017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7071605392067240587.post-60241746294185059212012-06-21T07:01:10.629-04:002012-06-21T07:01:10.629-04:00My goodness, that really brings the true horror of...My goodness, that really brings the true horror of what happened on that day home.<br /><br />What must have gone through that poor woman's mind.
