Dear Friends & Colleagues,

I pray that all of you are finding the strength to cope with the trauma associated with the terrorist attacks of September 11th, 2001.  I will forever remember the phone call I received from my wife, who was on duty as an emergency room nurse, notifying me that a plane had crashed into the World Trade Center.  I, like many of you, tuned in to CNN just in time to witness the second plane crash into the south tower.  I sat and watched in horror as the events of the day unfolded.   At no time, during my 23 years as a public servant, had I felt as helpless as I did that day.  I watched as colleagues and civilians died in front of my eyes, realizing that there wasn’t a thing I or anyone else could do to aid those victims. 

I felt that I had to do something, so I spent the next three days creating this memorial.  It will forever stand as a tribute to all of the emergency workers and civilians who perished on that Tuesday morning, September 11th, 2001.

We shall never, ever, forget...
