Behind the WTC steel beams stands a large painting
created by Artist, Kathleen Tonnesen. It gives the appearance of
flames rising. Within the flames are various figures, and
objects. One needs to take time to study each of these pieces for their deep
significance.
Below are three small sections of the painting with close up photos showing some
of the magnificent images Kathleen has chosen to
portray. The first is an image of President Bush saddened by the events of
911. Pouring from the President's eye is a tear in the shape of one
of the 911 victims. This is very moving and fitting for that disastrous
day. The second is a map of the USA. Within it is written September 11, 2001 and
the trade towers can be seen within. The third is a tribute photo of
Artist Kathleen Tonnesen's sister (Christine) and
nephew. Both were lost in a tragic event. Although they were
not lost during the events of 911, Kathleen can understand,
sympathize and have great compassion for the victims
families of 911 thru this personal tragedy of her own.

World Memorial gets ready for
their trip across the country to Ground Zero in NYC for the 5th Anniversary.
They have been planning this trip for years and now make ready with the help
of Operation Strong Angel III. In the center you can see a piece of steel
from the World Trade Center given to them by NYC. When this image was taken,
they had just convened on the trailer. More people started coming over until
there were over 100 at the scene. The group consisted of ex-military
personnel, Homeland Security Personnel & DOD Personnel, College Professors
and business men that support the project.
