September 11 is upon us once again, and we are solemnly reflecting on the anniversary of the most horrific attack on America. We call it Ground Zero – the site where the twin towers fell. But Ground Zero has a whole new meaning, forgotten in history.

In 1789, after a 1776 declaration of independence from Britain and 13 long years of creating a new nation, George Washington was inaugurated as America’s first president. At the time, New York City was the capitol city. It was there that that George Washington and both houses of Congress assembled at noon on the balcony outside the Senate Chamber for the inauguration of our nation’s first president.
