Curator's Comment
The dust on these boots is not authentic World Trade Center dust. These boots were donated to the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum for an exhibition for the first anniversary of 9/11. Staff at the Intrepid applied manufactured dust to the uniform for purposes of display. The uniform was subsequently transferred to the 9/11 Museum.
