Cyclones.
The first iteration of the Brooklyn Wall of Remembrance honored first responders from Brooklyn who died at the World Trade Center site. Today the 30 x 12 foot granite Wall pays tribute to all 416 first responders who died, from all 5 boroughs of New York City.
About the monument:
• This memorial was the idea of Brooklynite Sol Moglen, a passionate baseball fan who after September 11 2001, re-dedicated his non-profit organization, Ebbets Field Memorial Foundation, to the cause of creating a 911 memorial.
• Originally created to honor Brooklyn residents, in 2003 it was expanded to include firefighters, NYPD and Port Authority officers city-wide.
• The memorial was created by bronze sculptor Jamie Lester.
• Among the luminaries who have contributed their names and talents to this effort are artist Peter Max, actors Gary Sinise and Jon Voight, comedian Jackie Mason and Jim Fassel, former head coach of the NY Giants.
• Also associated with this project are 9-11 activist Marian Fontana, author of the best-selling book A Widows Walk and widow of artist-firefighter Dave Fontana, and Mrs. Gil Hodges, wife of the famous Dodger team member.
