Photo Album (Ground Hero, 2 weeks after)

Cardinal Egan suggested that we refer to the site as Ground Hero (instead of zero) to emphasize the positive contributions of the firemen, police, iron workers, nurses, doctors, dog handlers, and the thousands of people volunteering from all of the world.  Hence, I have labeled this page to support the idea.

With the help of rescue resources, we were escorted into the WTC.  The group included Jack, John, Fred, Tom (me), and Patrick.  Below are pictures that I took to provide some perspective.  All of the pictures link to the full blown original image, which are large.  If you have a cable connection, you'll probably want to look at these.  If you are on dial-up, you probably won't.
