With Your Help We Can Honor All The Uniform Service Members Who Made The Ultimate Sacrifice on September 11th
The Brooklyn Wall of Remembrance in KeySpan Park stands as a graceful and beautiful tribute to those who made the ultimate sacrifice on September 11th, 2001. A 30 x 12 foot granite wall, the Coney Island memorial contains the laser-engraved images of 137 firefighters, 11 NYC Police Officers and 7 Port Authority Officers. Their portraits form a powerful, unforgettable testament to their courage, and nowhere is there a more eloquent testimony to them. With your help the Wall of Remembrance will be expanded to include the remaining 209 FDNY, 1 Fire patrol, 3 NYS Court Officers, 12 NYPD, 30 PAPD and Sirus, the K-9 Rescue Dog.
KeySpan Park is the perfect setting for the Wall of Remembrance. Coney Island is an historic and beloved site along the ocean. Families come here for comfort, not for grief. To hear the sound of children laughing, feel the sun's warmth and listen to the quite voice of the ocean.
The plans today are to expand the Wall again - this time to include all of the heroic firefighters, police, court officers, emergency medical officers and Port Authority officers who gave their lives on September 11th. It's a tribute to Sol Moglen's vision and dedication and that of Board members Jim Dalton, Raymond Goffio, Peter Kasten and Butch Moran that the Wall of Remembrance has become recognized as a truly fitting and meaningful memorial to these men and woman. Remembering is our responsibility and learning from them is our honor.
The Ebbets Field Wall of Remembrance Foundation needs your help to expand the wall. We promised we would never forget - help us to keep that promise.
