Remembering

This morning at the park next to the Farmer's Market we were able to see this bronze sculpture that was just finished in time to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the attack on 9 /11. It was created by a local artist, Jim Demetro and will eventually be placed at the state capital. The four statues represent a firefighter, an airline pilot, a flight attendant and an office worker. All four have their backs toward what will be a representation of the Twin Towers in the middle. In a fifth spot, there is nothing but bronze footprints, representing a missing person. In the middle is a piece of the steel from the World Trade Center and also a piece of the stone from the Pentagon. The black braces you see in the picture are only there to hold the pieces in place as they are moved. Right now they are on a flatbed truck. This is an impressive work of art and a wonderful tribute to those lost in the attack on 9/11.
