USA - New York - NYPD officer and Alsatian guard Federal Hall after 9/11

The Monday morning following the attacks on September 11th we see a member of the National Guard wearing a dust mask while standing with his German Shepherd Alsatian dog beneath the high columns of the Federal Hall, located in Wall Street. It was the first capitol of the United States of America and the site of George Washington's first inauguration in 1789 whose statue stands above. It is also the place where the United States Bill of Rights was passed. To celebrate the near-return to financial normality, New Yorkers' spirit was proved intact by the hanging of US flags from buildings. Days after the historical events, security was prominent at all nationally symbolic institutions and buildings. As a show of force, it was also a clear deterrent for would-be criminals when New Yorkers felt vulnerable to further attack.
