The World Trade Center or the Twin Towers that were such a part of the Manhattan sky went from being a place of commerce to not only a war monument but also a grave site. Ground Zero is a term that has many different meanings, but typically speaking in the global post 9/11 environment, Ground Zero is a term that has been used to refer to the site on which the World Trade Center towers stood before the attacks on that day.

Ground Zero is a scared area for not only New Yorkers but for all Americans. Thousands of individuals from all across the globe have visited this horrific site of mass murder. They come in reverence to honor the living and the dead. They come to remember those found and those who are lost for all time.
