Lady Liberty in New York Harbor was the first to witness the September 11th attacks on the American homeland. Eight million New Yorkers, from the purple mountains of the Hudson Highlands to the shores of Montauk Point, experienced overwhelming grief, shared with their fellow Americans across our great land. The greatest calling from citizens is the reunion of community spirit. Bringing people together to comfort those in need and demonstrate patriotism and the feeling of support we have as a united nation. Much of the strength is symbolized through community tree planting efforts where by people can simply be a part of the growth of a tree. |
