A Unique Testament to the Rescue and Recovery Workers At Ground Zero.
To mark the end of the rescue and recovery effort at Ground Zero, which was completed many months earlier than the most optimistic expectations, ArtAID distribute a special "Thank You" to those that worked tirelessly at the site of the former World Trade Center. Featuring a piece of steel beams discovered in the rubble in the form of a cross, a banner was also produced and signed by hundreds of workers at the closing ceremony at St. Paul's Chapel.

The rescue workers who were the first to respond to the September 11th tragedy are now in danger. A massive cloud of dangerous substances (asbestos, dioxins, and microscopic shards of fiberglass, to name a few) was created when the towers collapsed, and the rescue workers and clean up crew were exposed to these substances at dangerously high levels. A variety of respiratory diseases, including but not limited to mesothelioma, are being identified at an alarming rate among our heroes. Let us keep our brave Firefighters, EMTs, police persons and clean up crew members in our prayers- because now they are suffering from a whole new tragedy. |
