Beer Stein September 11th Tribute

Commemorative stein from Thewalt of Germany. This is #150 of 5000 made. A perfect example of a tribute item, and also shows the influence September 11th on material culture outside of the US. The main tie in on the stein to 911 is the firefighter helmet. This object really is a great piece, and showcases some handcrafted work.

911 Puzzle

God Bless America Twin Towers commemorative puzzle. A portion of the proceeds went to the American Red Cross with the purchase of this item. The question with an item like this is how many people would carry out a puzzle like this? What is the appeal of a Twin Towers puzzle? Clearly more a collector's object than entertainment option for people.

Color Your Own T-Shirt: Use Your Imagination As You Fill In The Colors Of This Unforgettable Image of Bravery, Unity and Remembrance

Color in the t-shirt and bring this tribute image to life. I'm not sure about this call to action. The t-shirt is an interesting object, which I have a hard time imaging someone actually painting the image and then wearing it. This particular one is a kids sized shirt, so a child could possibly wear it. It is important to point out that a portion of the proceeds are donated to the American Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund.

Let's Go Shopping T-Shirt

I thought this t-shirt was of interest...offered on Etsy. Here is the post from the seller:

Description
Remember Sept 27th, 2001? We were one nation, united in grief.

We all joined together, and under the advice of George W Bush and his team of advisers, we joined together to... go to the mall.

Sure, people were still pulling bodies out of the rubble, and firefighters were still on the site working around the clock without adequate protection due to budget cuts, and stupid calls by EPA administrators.

But there was an economic slump we had to deal with.
Fight terror-- go shopping!

Speaking of shopping, buy this shirt! Let's exploit 9-11 some more!

Regretsy Blog Offers September 11th Perspective of Images and Objects and "The Unpleasantness"

A friend shared this post from Regretsy, which offered an overview:

To commemorate the 9th anniversary of what I like to call “The Unpleasantness”, I’m going to subject you to an extensive, handpicked assortment of Nine-Elevenalia.

I must preface this post by saying that I did not create anything you see here. Like every Regretsy post, I’m only the curator of this exhibit.

Take a look at the post. It is quite a collection of different images and some objects.
