On Saturday, September 6, 2008, all thirteen members of the Patriots Hall of Fame were re-inducted into the new, permanent Hall of Fame located directly outside the main gate at Gillette Stadium. Although I did attend the event, I didn't bring a camera. Therefore, all of these photos are courtesy of Patriots.com.
