Massachusetts Remembers 9/ll With Memorial and Names -- 20 Years Later

All photos by Barbara Poole.

When I came across the Boston memorial to the 206 Massachusetts victims of September 11, 2001, one day while strolling in the Public Gardens, I knew I had to share my photos and more importantly, the names of all those from Massachusetts who died. We will never forget.
