The Grand Tour
|
The attacks on September 11, 2001, claimed the lives of 2,977 people. For the relatives of these victims they are not simply numbers or talking points -
they are sons and daughters, mothers and fathers; family members lost in a tragedy that defines the modern era in the United States.
In The Grand Tour, Barry shares the story of his son Josh, a gifted young newlywed who was killed at the World Trade Center in New York on 9/11. As a volunteer with The 9/11 Tribute Museum in New York City, Barry leads regular tours of The National September 11 Memorial, relaying to visitors the history of the World Trade Center buildings, the attacks, and details of his son's life and last day. As a father, Barry shares the realities of living with the loss of a child in an intimate tour of his Washington D.C. area home. Barry's travels between D.C. and New York to give tours at The Memorial have become more difficult as the years go by, and his effort to keep his son's story alive sheds light on the wider issue of a diminishing population of people with first hand knowledge of September 11 and its impact.
