I'm not exactly sure what to make of this:

At least this second one looks more like a commemoration:

Gosh, I bet the tourists snap these up like hot cakes. I wonder if you can order them online.
Second... if they can't even agree on how to spell September, then I can't take them seriously. First attempt - Septemo. Second attempt - Septem.
The second carpet looks like a large sword going through the twin towers and a large drop of blood coming off its handle.
I say, show this off to our service men over there and see if they are happy to see it hanging out in the open.
