The 9/11 Tribute at McSorley's

Twin beams of light are cast from the World Trade Center every year in the week surrounding 9/11.  The solemn luminescence may be the greatest tribute to 9/11, but dozens of others take place throughout the city.  This picture was taken around 3:20pm, as firefighters and members of the Emerald Society Pipes and Drums shared the sidewalk outside McSorley's Ale House.  A toast is made at McSorley's every year at 3:43 in honor of the 343 firefighters that perished that fateful Tuesday morning eleven years ago.
