Trash or treasure As a child I really didn’t have any trouble throwing anything away. However, as I got older and realized the value of some things, it became harder and harder to throw things away. About four or five years ago, my great grandfather passed away and while cleaning his house I found a little silver torpedo. I don’t know why, but I kept it and still have it to this day. So, I understand why the items recovered from the twin tower site are being memorialized. When you think about someone keeping a piece of burnt paper with a signature on it, it seems really dumb. But when you realize that this is the only thing someone may have to link them to their loved one, you’ll feel the way they do and want to preserve most of the materials found in the wreckage of the towers.
