9/11

Mamaroneck, NY

Note: The large "9" was among discarded numbers from a window display advertising a sales event, the two pieces of metal representing the Twin Towers (WTC) were a natural blue, the discarded plane was tinted red through infrared effects so that the entire 15th anniversary tribute image could be in the colors of the American flag, the scattered metal and broken glass represent how global safety of civilized, progressive nations that stand for freedom and human rights was shattered that fateful day, and the twisted, melted can underneath the Twin Towers represents the fallen jet engine. The olives and grays represent the ugliness of that day while the reds, whites, and blues represent the colors of the American flag.

it still hurts!

William Sutherland replied to Zulma:

Every anniversary brings back the memories of people I knew and went to school with who died that day as well as the raw emotions. It brings back memories of seeing the acrid smoke rising for months from the surreal debris (the last of the fires weren't put out until December), city blocks covered in soot from the fallen towers (everything gray) the thousands of posters of families desperately seeking their missing loved ones, the explosion of shrines by hospitals, fire departments (some from which not a single person returned) and police stations, in parks and everywhere in downtown Manhattan and else where in NYC. Yes, it still hurts and always will. Thus it is important that people always stand up to oppose everything this malignant cancer stands for -- defend freedom of expression, stand up for human rights and never be silenced out of fear. May those who died that 9/11 be enjoying eternity and may their families and friends and everyone who stands in solidarity around the world find comfort and peace knowing that nothing this evil can do will ever extinguish the light of human decency not exterminate human life and most importantly individuality!

William,
We shall never forget. So many of us have someone who did not go home that day.
There are so many stories of people who don't know they are ill - yet.
Those who care about other human beings can make a difference . ... but, we have to bother to care.
Thank you for this Tribute,
Peggy
