Wow! Thank you for this! I thought the music was beautiful, well done, and honored the memories of those who fell on 9-11.

Thank you for your comments. I was honored to be a part of this musical tribute to those who perished on that date 10 years ago and to those who gave so unselfishly in the aftermath of such a terrible tragedy. Kudos to all those who worked so hard in the planning.
