9/11 Remembered: Our Vision
Our Vision
Sharing The 9/11 Memorial Across America
Sharing the 9/11 Memorial with everyone is our team's most prized vision and reason for existence. We believe that folks living in some of America's most rural areas, may not ever have the opportunity to come to New York City.
EVERYONE deserves to see this memorial and it's our mission and vision to do just that.
The Beginning
Origins of 9/11 Remembered • Traveling Memorial
After the events that occurred September 11, 2001, I volunteered at Ground Zero with my best friend Porkchop. The cleanup took a total of nine months before every person left, hand in hand. The event caused unbelievable despair across America and much of the world...and yet, it also created a sense of unity. The feeling that:
"We. Are. One."
Those Who Answered The Call
The memories of Ground Zero are seared into the minds of anyone who responded to "the call" and will NEVER BE FORGOTTEN.
This is the origin story of 9/11 Remembered.
Fast forward to September 11, 2011 - the memorial was completed and open for victims families. The following day the public was permitted to visit the memorial. May 21, 2014 the 9/11 Museum was officially opened and finally November 3, 2014 the Freedom Tower opened it's doors. America waited a very long time to memorialize those lost on 9/11...but I believe the wait was worth it. After countless funerals, memorials, charitable events, over the course of the years I still get chills when I go to the site.
All of America deserves to see this memorial...
It's my mission to do just that.
