The Rocketts Christmas Spectacular, Radio City Music Hall, Rockefeller Center iceskating, the dancing Salvation Army bell ringers, the window shopping, comedy clubs and cozy foodie restaurants of Greenwich Village and SoHo were exciting and friendly. The spirit of kindness and generosity permeate the city this time of year.
Another day is honored in bronze and stone 365 days of the year. The rememberance of the tragic 2977 deaths of people, from all walks of life, on September 11, 2001. Their souls are not forgotten. These people from all states, nations, races and religious beliefs were robbed of their Freedom of Pursuit of Happiness.
Much thought and feelings have been incorporated in the construction of both the outside dark cavernous square waterfall fountains, where once the two World Towers once stood, housing thousands of people every work day.
Many hours of community effort from all parts of America went into the fabricating of the 911 Remembrance Quilt hanging in the downstairs 911 Memorial Museum. Artists of all types have helped express all of our grief connected to this heinous act of terrorism. Lastly, photos of all victums are hang on the inner wall of this monument.
Rising defiantly, above and next to this monument of bronze and stone, is the Freedom Tower, a beacon for all of us, for America, for Western freedoms and democracy.
The Spirit of the Season and The Spirit of Freedom lives with all of us who allow the freedom of others.
Happy Holidays From "Boston Bronze and Stone Speak To Us"
Our Monuments teach us, hopefully we will all learn from them.
