Praying at the Armory Wall |
| photographed by Bronston Jones |
| The Armory on Lexington Avenue between 25th and 26th
Streets housed the initial Family Assistance Center. As
families waited in line to officially report their loved
one missing, the walls of the Armory and adjacent
buildings became covered in fliers. After a couple weeks
the Family Center was moved from the Armory, but the
fliers remained. New Yorkers and visitors alike began visiting the Armory Wall to pay their respects to the victims and to share in the pain. Orange County, CA Sheriff Chaplain Harley Broviak shares a prayer with two women along the wall on the side of the Armory. Sights such as this weren't uncommon throughout the city. |
