The Lower Manhattan Development Corp. (LMDC), a joint NYS & NYC corporation headed by the Governor & Mayor, is responsible for developing the memorials at the WTC. In a controversial decision, it has decided that the World Trade Center Memorial will not acknowledge the courage and sacrifice of the Uniformed Rescue Workers killed on 9-11. Unfortunately, we must once again fight for what is right. Please attend this important event, wearing bunker gear, in support of our fallen brothers on Wednesday, May 28, 2003 at4:30pm in front of the Borough of Manhattan Community College (c/o West St. & Chambers St. near Ground Zero). This event takes place immediately before the LMDC public input meeting at the same location, where our firefighters, police officers and 9-11 family members will be speaking inside to the LMDC.
Members or friends can visit ‘Advocates For A 9/11 Fallen Heroes Memorial’, which is conducting the event with full UFA& UFOA support, at www.FDNYfirefighters.com and also fill out the on-line petition.
