US 104th infantry veteran.

In your picture, there is work being done on the left hand tower.

I noticed that, too. Mine was taken a few years earlier (1940 or 1941).

It was black until the 60's when Malraux asked to clean the monuments.

Billionaires are now having a Money Fight over saving the building, it will be fine.
I was very sad to hear about the fire.
But now the response has laid bare the vast inequality of the super rich, verses the common man.

Well said Chris, you don't see the super rich rushing to help the poor and the homeless!..
