I took this image of the then Freedom Tower crane right when they started construction. It has become a constant reminder for me of the friends I lost and the families that were touched on September 11. Its a shinning beacon that reflects all those souls that lost their lives that day.

Every time I speak to a Vet they remind me of one very important lesson that cannot be said enough, Freedom is not free.
