NYC 9/11 Memorial Field 6th Anniversary
The Sphere has stood in Battery Park since March of 2002 when it was moved from the World Trade Center site where it had been for three decades. It was placed in Battery Park as a temporary memorial and an eternal flame was lighted on the first anniversary of the attacks, September 11, 2002, in a ceremony following the reading of the names at the trade center site.
For the sixth anniversary of September 11, flags representing first responders who died in the attacks were placed around The Sphere as a Memorial Field.
The flags were on display from September 7 through 13, 2007.
The Sphere was heavily damaged by pieces of the falling towers.
More than 90 countries lost citizens in the September 11 attacks. Flags representing those countries lined the sidewalks around the Memorial Field.
Many people also designed flags to commemorate the attacks. My friend Gwen who designed this one says that families of those who died are still asking her to send them a flag, six years later.
