110505 Presidential Support

Joint Task Force Empire Shield (JTFES) provide security elements along side the New York City Police Department, Port Authority of New York and New Jersey Police Department to support the president's visit to World Trade Center during a wreath-laying ceremony held May 5, 2011 at New York, Unlike the visit of the then presidential candidate Obama 2008 visit to Ground Zero, this 2011 visit and wreath-laying ceremony is more symbolic to the War on Terror as it comes days after the death of Osama Bin Laden.
