The last structure removed from Ground Zero after the attacks on 9/11 is displayed in the @Sept11Memorial. It serves as a symbol of strength & resilience outlasting great tragedy.

September 11, 2001 was a Tuesday. I remember because that's the day the senior staff of the @AFLCIO met in the executive conference room on the 8th floor at 815 16th Street. The room has one of the great views in Washington, overlooking the White House across Lafayette Square.
