Alliance to Respect Human Remains at the 911 Memorial
Posted on July 26th, 2010
The intent of this letter is to inform 9/11 families of serious issues regarding the ethical and respectful treatment of our loved ones’ human remains at the future 9/11 Memorial Museum.
We are an alliance of established group leaders who have lost their loved ones at the WTC. For the past eight and a half years, we have been advocating for 9/11 family members as they struggle to ensure a proper, honorable and respectful 9/11 Memorial and Museum as a legacy for their loved ones.

Guardian Angels are special beings that watch over us, protect us and help us in many ways. In our organization we have had several people who have helped us continue our scholarship fund in many special ways This year we are honoring 2 individuals who will join the “Guardian Angel” family. They are humble, knowledgeable and have supported us since day one. These two individuals have made sure that the lessons of September 11, 2001 are passed on to the students of District 30 Queens and hopefully through their efforts will be passed on to other school districts in NYC as well.
Help Our NYPD 9/11 Hero—DONATE NOW!
Posted on July 11th, 2010
Kevin O’Connor is in $17,000 in debt due to medical expenses, as Americans it is our duty to help our hero’s in need. Kevin O’Connor sacrificed himself for this country on 9/11, not only being lied to about the air quality but now ignored by the government for assistance.
What’s Up With That?
Posted on January 24th, 2010
Early in January the Huffington Post reported on International Living’s 30th annual “Quality of Life Index.” France ranked #1 and the image used as that country’s national symbol was, of course, the Eiffel Tower. The United States placed seventh and symbolizing us wasn’t the US Capitol or the Empire State Building; it was the missing World Trade Center…
It would be hard to imagine a worse message to send the world than a 1776-foot tombstone and the “largest manmade falls in North America” — whose roar will recall the horrifying sound of crumbling towers — instead of the simple, stirring memorial that belongs there. They might as well include a neon sign flashing “Second-Class Country.” A headline about a mock-up of the morbid memorial falls in the 1/23/10 New York Post read: “9/11 shrine’s cascade of grief begins flowing!” Who thinks we’ve become the kind of country that enshrines grief? Whose doing is that? Not the people’s — that’s for sure.

Group Seeks to Ensure Rank and Title Appear with Names of 9/11 Responders
Posted on September 13th, 2009
Mayor Bloomberg, along with the 9/11 Memorial Planning Board, have long proposed that the Ranks and Titles of First Responders be stripped from the Memorial, and that they not be grouped separately as FDNY or PAPD or NYPD, etc. Rather, they would have the Rank-less and Title-less First Responder names be mixed amongst those of all of the deceased, so as not to “single them out” for extraordinary notice.
Please support the group ”911 Rank-Title Matter For All” in any way you can.
