2002 Grenada 9/11 "In Memoriam"

This souvenir sheet was issued by Grenada to commemorate the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, featuring a single stamp depicting the World Trade Center towers rising above the Lower Manhattan skyline. The sheet's design places the stamp against a photograph of the same skyline as seen from across the East River, framed by the Brooklyn Bridge, offering a poignant contrast between the towers as they once stood and the surrounding cityscape that remained. The sheet is titled "In Memoriam," a fitting tribute to the thousands of lives lost in the attacks.

The sheet includes a quotation from President George W. Bush, delivered September 20, 2001, in his address to a joint session of Congress just nine days after the attacks, in which he thanked the international community for its outpouring of support toward the United States. That support came from countries around the world, many of which issued their own commemorative stamps and souvenir sheets in the months and years following the attacks, using philately as a visible expression of solidarity during a period of widespread global mourning.
