Trip to Ground Zero, Day before The Tour starts

So we made our way to New York City today on our day off before we start the Unity Tour tomorrow morning.

We started off taking the bus from New Jersey to New York and then walked to Times Square.  From there we took the Subway to the World Trade Center memorial site.

This is the under construction new World Trade Center building right next to the memorial.

And as we walked to the entrance of the WTC memorial, we walked past this huge 6 foot tall wall plaque. 

Once in the Memorial Site, we walked up to this.  It is an experience that is hard to put into words.

And along the edge of the flowing waterfall is the names of all that died on September 11th, 2001 to include everyone that died in the airplanes that crashed into the World Trade Center, Pentagon, and in Pennsylvania.

Here is Mike and John as they look at the Memorial pool.

Tomorrow we start the Police Unity Tour with a 60 mile ride to Trenton, NJ.  I will try to post on here pictures and video tomorrow after the ride, so check back.
