Two years ago a group of first responders, first responder widows and community members envisioned a memorial dedicated to the first responders who succumbed to 9/11 related illnesses.
Today, for the first time, in our great country, we have a place for all those responders to call home. This memorial will be a place where Police Officers, Fire Fighters, EMS and volunteers to name a few can all be honored together and where their loved ones can come to reflect on their great sacrifice to America.
Today continues our journey. Our work is not done. As a committee, we stand very proud. In creating this memorial we exude the same pride every American citizen displayed responding on September 11th, 2001 and the weeks and months thereafter. We have overcome Irene and an earthquake; torrential rains and frustrating days; and hurdles and obstacles we never imagined.
We have toiled on this very soil putting our blood, sweat and tears to make this very day possible…and now we are here.
While tomorrow we reflect on the horrific events that occurred ten years ago, take solace that you and your loved ones will never be forgotten.
And to all my brother and sister first responders that we have lost, we miss you, we love you and we will always remember you.
In closing to them:
Goodbyes are not forever. Goodbyes are not the end. They simply mean we’ll miss you. Until we meet again.
God Bless you all and God Bless the United States of America.
Dr. Errol D. Toulon, Jr.

9/11 Responders Remembered Unveiling
Saturday, September 10, 2011 at 1:28PM This Sunday marks the 10th anniversary of 9-11. It is hard to believe that ten years have passed since we experienced the horror of watching airplanes filled with everyday people turned into weapons of destruction. We can all remember the pain and anger we felt upon learning about the death of so many innocent people. We can remember the outrage we felt upon learning that there were extremists who under the guise of religion, slaughtered innocent people here in America.
The world changed ten years ago. Security at airports, train and bus stations, even bridges and tunnels, is a visible change that although important, inconveniences travelers. Security in our public spaces, and where people gather, has been increased. But there have been other more subtle changes as well. Many Americans express a feeling of vulnerability and loss of innocence.
Our challenge, as witnesses and survivors of that day, is to find an appropriate way to honor the memory of those who died on 9 -11 and those who have died since due to illnesses and injury related to 9 -11. Commemorating the day by participating in a service and creating memorials is one way to honor victims. Another equally important way to honor their memory is to live life and treat each day and the people in our lives as the wonderful gifts they are.
