Around the world, one year after the tragedy on 9/11, Mozart's Requiem was played to commemorate those lost in the fall of the Twin Towers. I was moved by the world's outpouring of sympathy for our loss on that day. When we are thinking with our hearts we are the great nation we were meant to be. The Fire and Police Personnel who gave their last measure are honored in this work of terra cotta and steel. The terra cotta image and its expression of self-sacrifice represent the courage and dignity of all those Fire and Police Personnel lost.
