Media outlets recently published news pieces focusing on Bob Gray, a first responder at the Pentagon on 9/11. We detailed Gray’s transformational journey to the 9/11 Memorial Museum, where the helmet he wore in the days after 9/11 is on display in the Historical Exhibition.
Gray was selected by the American Alliance of Museums, or AAM, as one of this year’s Great American Museum Advocates, nominated by the 9/11 Memorial Museum. He therefore joined 9/11 Memorial staff and advocates from around the country for Museums Advocacy Day in Washington, D.C. on Feb. 23-24.
Recently, FOX 5 DC published an interview with Gray, and WTOP, a Washington, D.C. radio station, also covered his story.
You can view Gray's own blog, in which he details his Museum experience, here.
