National September 11 Memorial & Museum
“I feel like a part of me was lost on 9/11. Until I visited the Museum and saw the dramatic artifacts like the Slurry Wall I was not able to talk about the experience.” –Adriana Maluendas, 9/11 survivor. http://911memorial.io/1OTUIPf
Standing 36-feet tall and weighing 58-tons, the Last Column became a symbol of resilience after September 11, 2001 and can be seen in Foundation Hall at the 9/11 Memorial Museum adorned with the original markings, pictures and tributes.
Queens native and FDNY Firefighter John Vigiano lived in West Islip with his wife and their two daughters. On 9/11, Vigiano responded to the towers. Also responding on 9/11 was his brother, NYPD Detective Joseph Vigiano. Both perished. Today is John’s birthday, he would have been 51 years old.
On Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day, take a moment to honor the lives lost on December 7, 1941, a day that will live in infamy.
