New York Joins Sister City on 10th Anniversary of Sarin Gas Attack.
TOKYO, MARCH 20. Tokyo suffered a terrorist attack that killed a dozen innocent commuters and injured thousands 10 years ago on March 20th, 1995. In our shared determination to combat such senseless attrocities, New York City and Tokyo became "Sister Cities". The September 11th Family Association honored that special relationshp through participation in the anniversary ceremonies in Tokyo, Japan in 2005. ArtAID produced a unique banner that was displayed at Ground Zero in NYC and signed by hundreds of well-wishers from around the world solidaridy with the victims of that attack. Download the signed version of the artwork HERE.

Mrs. Shizue Takahashi, ( at right holding ArtAID Cross print) widow of the train conductor who bravely removed the Sarin Gas substance from his train in order to protect the passengers. He died in the station doing this. Mr. Takahashi was one of 12 people who perished and truly someone who sacrificed for others. Mrs. Takahashi is co-founder and widely respected leader of the Tokyo Sarin Gas Subway Victims Association.

In Remembrance of March 20:
12th Anniversary of Tokyo Sarin Gas Subway Attacks, A New YorkFriend’s Reflection

All is quiet.
All is calm.
Ocean waves cover dry sand,
Leave their mark and then depart.
It is sunrise and the light reaches everywhere.
This day begins, with seagulls and ships and last touches of snow, as you
Dear friends, another ocean away,
Face 12 years anniversary day.

I do not know if time heals all wounds.
I do know time brings people together.
In the togetherness, compassion and companionship ease pain and isolation.

Your grief led to courage.
Your courage led to determination.
Both brought you to your Sister City, in search of ways to better serve each
other and your country; here our friendship began.

On this twelfth anniversary,
I can see Mrs. Takahashi placing flowers at Kasumigaseki Station.
I can hear the powerful voices of Kazu, Izumi, Miyuko, Yuli, and many more
family members and survivors, bravely telling of trauma that does not leave.
I can remember physicians eloquently speaking about health concerns for
thousands of people, so uncertain of what the future may bring.

My friends, I pray for your consolation.
I pray for your healing.
I pray that your dedicated efforts for justice be fulfilled.

“We are all in this together,”
Barbara

The September 11th Family Association presented this banner in Tokyo on the 10th Anniversary of the attack.
