Q:What is the significance of the 9:01 Gate and the 9:03 Gate?

The Gates of Times forever frame the moment of destruction at 9:02 a.m. The 9:01 gate is a symbolic reference that represents the last moment of innocence for our nation in reference to domestic terrorism and of those affected by the bombing. The 9:03 gate is a symbolic reference that represents the first moment into the aftermath and hope for the future. 9:02 is the moment where those who were killed, those who survived and those changed forever are represented.
