Firefighter Pencil Sharpener
Like many previous items, this pencil sharpener evokes firefighters, a symbol connected to September 11th.
Freedom Freshener
Maine's Village Candle created the Freedom Freshener in memoriam for September 11th. Like other tribute items, a portion of the proceeds from their sale went to support national disaster relief efforts. Thanks to Village Candle for sending me this item!

Terrorism Update
As the years passed of September 11th, 2001, a number of publications appeared that offered updates on the "war against terrorism."  This is one example.
Tribute Tie
This 9/11 tribute tie was given to me by a friend. He picked it up near the World Trade Center site. Items like this were common after 9/11, but are not as available now 8 years later. There are a number of tribute items still on the market, but most fall into the category of mass produced (usually paper or plastic items).
