AFTER THIS WAS PAINTED, I WISHED TO SEND A PRINT TO FAMILIES OF ALL THE FIRE, EMS, POLICE AND OTHER RESCUE PERSONS WHO LOST THEIR LIVES THAT DAY AND THE DAYS THEREAFTER. I BORROWED MONEY AND MADE POSTER PRINTS AND HAVE TRIED ALL THESE YEARS TO SEND THEM SOMEWHERE TO THE FAMILIES. I STILL HAVE THESE PRINTS, AND AM STILL LOOKING FOR SOMEPLACE TO SEND SO THAT ANY FAMILY WHO WISHES CAN HAVE ONE. THEY ARE VERY NICE.
I HAVE SINCE PAID OFF THE LOAN, BUT STILL DREAM OF SENDING A BIT OF COMFORT AND ADMIRATION TO THE FAMILIES.
I AM AN AMATEUR,AS PERHAPS YOU CAN TELL. THE OBJECTS AND PERSONS ARE OF BUILDING SHELLS, THE CONFLAGRATION, A DISTANT BUT STILL-THERE FLAG, A FIREMAN, AND ONE OF THE SEARCH DOGS.THIS IS THE BEST I COULD REPRESENT THE FAITH AND COURAGE OF EVERYONE DURING THOSE HORRIBLE TIMES.
I STILL HAVE NOT FORGOT, AND PRAY NONE OF WE CITIZENS EVER, EVER FORGET ALL THOSE WHO LOST THEIR LIVES: THE INNOCENT WORKERS AT THEIR JOBS, THE FIRST RESPONDERS, THE RESIDENTS, THE GOOD DOGS WHO HUNTED FOR ANYONE THEY COULD FIND, AND THOSE WHO PICKED UP AFTER. I ALSO REMEMBER THE CLERGYMAN WHO DIED HELPING.
THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME POST THIS PIECE. MARGARET NELSEN HARKER
