This poignant selection of artifacts-and their stories-from September 11 provides an official, lasting record of that day's experience. In both text and photography, the story of September 11 is told through a selection of powerfully moving artifacts from the 9/11 museum's collection that serve as touchstones to the day and its aftermath.

Using an innovative multi-echelon ""Position, Protect, and Pull"" methodology, DDMRP helps plan and manage inventories and materials in today's more complex supply scenarios, with attent...
