This Is a photo taken of my brother, my cousin and his wife by the tribute of light in March 2002

This picture was taken 3 months prior to 9/11 from Liberty Island. I had the priviledge of visiting the WTC for the last time on that date. I was also proudly wearing my NYC T-shirt that day.

Chelsea Piers was used as a makeshift hospital. These were all volunteer doctors, nurses, and paramedics. While everyone was prepared for serious injuries to arrive, unfortunately none would.

Another twist on the lights that were on display all too briefly...

This was the picture of the Twin Towers after surviving the 1993 bombing. She was damaged badly yet undaunted. But the terrorists waited just 8 years before knocking her down. This time, they did it with authority. I sure hope the Twin Towers will…

Honoring lost heroes, on the last day of the "recovery effort" at the WTC site, May 30th 2002.

I was a "first responder" at the WTC on 9-11. I just happened to be there. Since then, I've been working as a volunteer in the recovery efforts. This picture shows how ground zero looked at the end of January 2002. The picture was taken by a fellow…

This photo was taken from the 59th Street Bridge at about 3:30pm on 9/11 as I was evacuating Manhattan. The American flag was flying from a building in Long Island City.

U.S. Navy Hospital Ship "Comfort" on Chesapeake Bay, September 12, 2001.

Ground zero, July 2002. The whole picture tells the story of what has happened. Skyscrapers in the background, ground zero, but most important a flag with a cross. That says it all. We are Americans, we will never forget.

A month later on October 11th I felt like I had to visit ground zero. The recovery effort had been going non-stop since that fateful day. Of course most of the public was barricaded from going deeper into the site. I found that the outpouring of…

This is a haunting picture of my daughter Meredith taken from the Statue of Liberty Boat on 8/23/01. It feels like the WTC is springing out of her head.

This is the rest of the series of photos taken after a plane struck the Pentagon on September 11, 2001.

I took this photo of my family on the way out to the Statue of Liberty in April 2001. Our sympathies to all who lost someone on Sept. 11th.

World Trade Center on July 3rd 2001, just two months before the attacks.
