Thank you for sharing Your Personal 9/11 Story
Your 9/11 Story may be published in our book tribute if you were here in the metropolitan area on that day of remembrance.

The book is about our local people’s story. Please, nothing political, and up to one page please. All writings, photos and art, amateurs welcome, must have been created by NYC metropolitans, including all commuters from N.J., L.I., Westchester, Conn. etc.Books will be donated to NYC Public Libraries.
The proceeds from the sale of books will be used to continue our healing workshops with children and the elderly and other visual and performing art fiscal sponsorships.
"Inspiration isn’t the domain of only writers and artists. It exists in the notebooks and diaries, letters and postcards of ordinary people." Joe Franklin, TV host and writer’s book "A Gift for People."
We are honored to dedicate our book to Rick Rescorla who saved 2700 people that day and went back up with the firemen not to return..........and to our firemen and policemen. Were you here on 9/11/01 and after? We hope time passing, seven years later… has helped us heal. A sincere and gentle way to preserve memories and honor loved ones in this historic and elegant book of record.
