9/11 Portraits

A number of publications were created after September 11th, 2001. This book is a collection of the obituaries that were published in the NY Times about each victim of 9/11. The book was give to me by a friend whose brother died in the Twin Towers. His obituary is marked by her.

Commerative Plaque

Not much to comment about this limited edition plaque. The question of use does arise about this object. What does someone do with a commemorative plaque such as this? Is there a religious element to this? Does someone have this plaque as a part of their tribute or shrine to September 11th? As I recall when I purchased this object, the plaque was maufactured from WTC steel. How do you verify such a claim? A certificate of authenticity could be there way of providing proof, but it isn't clear to me that this is there reason (or claim) for the certificate.
