in remembrance to those who were lost on this fateful day seven years ago...we will never forget....
from August 2007
This fence was painted by the 5th grade class from the elementary school up the road. Each year on the anniversary of September 11th hundreds of yellow balloons are tied to this fence to honor the memory of those that lost their lives.
Have a good weekend everyone!

For those here for the post - enjoy this little history lesson. These are the people I idolize.
Marsha P. Johnson's (1945-1992) name isn't in most American history books, but it should be. When a judge asked her about the "P" in her name, she responded that it stood for "Pay it no mind." The judge laughed and dismissed the charges against her. Her persistence and advocacy made her one of the most significant figures in LGBTQ and AIDS activism. Known as an outspoken advocate for gay rights, Johnson was one of the prominent figures in the Stonewall uprising of 1969.
Tennis champion Billie Jean King (b. 1943) has been a longtime pioneer on and off the court, using her status as a prominent athlete to champion gender equality and LGBTQ visibility. She was the first tennis player — and woman — to be named Sports Illustrated's Sportsperson of the Year in 1972. When she publicly confirmed that she was in a lesbian relationship, she became the first out LGBTQ athlete and lost all her endorsement deals. But she likely made the road smoother for those who followed, including Martina Navratilova who lost none of her endorsement deals when she was outed just a few months later.
Harvey Milk (1930-1978) was one of the first openly gay politicians elected to office in the United States, and the first openly gay official elected in California. While serving as a city supervisor, he introduced legislation to protect the gay community, including a gay rights ordinance in 1978 to ban discrimination against LGBTQ in housing or employment. He and other activists also succeeded in striking down Proposition 6, which would have mandated the firing of any gay or lesbian teachers in California.
Audre Lorde (1934 -1992) described herself as a "black lesbian feminist mother warrior poet." She was proud of every layer of her identity and used her own experiences to discuss the overlap between these communities. Lorde was the daughter of immigrants, a socialist, a mother, a black woman and a lesbian. Her work addressed the different ways in which a person's social identity, entwined with their gender, affected their lives and how others treated them.
Larry Kramer (1935 - 2020) turned his anger and grief into action. He was one of the first to sound the alarm for the HIV/AIDS crisis in 1981 when the New York Times wrote about a rare type of "cancer" affecting gay men. He was in the proverbial trenches fighting for LGBTQ rights and organized AIDS activists even before he was diagnosed as HIV positive. Kramer co-founded the advocacy groups GMHC (Gay Men's Health Crisis) and ACT UP (AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power), which coined the iconic SILENCE = DEATH logo that became a symbol for the AIDS crisis. Kramer rose to prominence battling what he cited as negligence from the FDA and the US government. Kramer and the activists he demonstrated with were fueled by rage. They led demonstrations, blocked roads during rush hour and staged "die-ins" that grabbed media attention, eventually forcing the government to address the AIDS crisis and provide access to new treatment methods.

Finally I can sit in the front of my computer, uploading these pictures that I took at the world trade center after crazy weekend. I feel sad when I saw those pictures, videos, notes on the wall in the museum. And I feel like the influence is not just only to american people, is to whole world. It's been 16 years, and we never forget. And freedom is not free.

New York, 2015.
The skyline of New York now includes the One World Trade Center. Right now, this is the tallest building in the Western Hemisphere.
Dutch Bunker from WWII. In In this area, on the Island of Dordrecht, The Netherlands, there were bloody battles between Dutch Infantry and German paratroopers. The Germans did not expect this. Never forget.
Standing as a shining beacon for the new Downtown, and a bold addition the skyline, One World Trade Center is safe, sustainable, and artistically dynamic. Soaring to a symbolic 1,776 feet — it is the Western Hemisphere’s tallest building, and already an iconic New York landmark.
Nguyễn Thái Học (1902–1930) was a Vietnamese revolutionary and the founder of the Vietnamese Nationalist Party (Việt Nam Quốc Dân Đảng, VNQDĐ). Born in Vĩnh Tường province in northern Vietnam, then under French colonial rule, he grew up in a modest but educated family and showed early intelligence, idealism, and a strong sense of justice.
During his youth, he witnessed the oppression and exploitation of the Vietnamese people by French authorities, which shaped his conviction that only freedom and unity could save his nation. In 1927, at the age of 25, he founded the VNQDĐ, aiming to achieve Vietnamese independence through organized revolutionary action.
Nguyễn Thái Học was a determined yet conscientious leader. He believed in the power of collective action and the responsibility of revolutionaries to protect and guide their people. He organized the **Yên Bái uprising in 1930**, a coordinated attempt to overthrow French rule. Unfortunately, the revolt was betrayed and suppressed. Many revolutionaries were captured or killed, and Nguyễn Thái Học himself was sentenced to death.
On June 17, 1930, at just 28 years old, he was **executed by the French authorities**, standing firm in his convictions. His final words, calling for the enduring freedom of Vietnam, became legendary and inspired generations of patriots. Nguyễn Thái Học remains a symbol of courage, sacrifice, and unwavering dedication to justice, representing all those who gave their lives resisting oppression and fighting for the rights of their people.I publish this series of figures to awaken consciences and remind young people and the world that the people, the oppressed, must remain united to resist injustice. All those who have truly defended the rights of others in one way or another have often been killed. This series honors their courage, sacrifices, and dedication, showing that fighting for justice is a responsibility that continues today.

December 7, 1941..."A day that will live in infamy"...May we never forget the sacrifices of others who give their lives for our freedom! Never forget...
Giancarlo Siani (1959–1985) was a young and courageous Neapolitan journalist born in Naples, Italy. He grew up in a modest family; his parents instilled in him strong ethical values and a sense of responsibility. Siani was known for his determination, integrity, and unwavering commitment to truth and justice.
He began his journalism career writing for local newspapers and soon joined the daily "Il Mattino," where he covered sensitive topics related to organized crime. Siani focused on exposing the deep-rooted connections between the Camorra, the Neapolitan mafia, and local political authorities, revealing corruption and complicity that many preferred to keep hidden.
He was unmarried and fully devoted to his work, believing that informing the public was a civic duty. His investigations made him a target, as he threatened the interests of powerful criminal and political networks. On September 23, 1985, at just 26 years old, Giancarlo Siani was murdered by the Camorra in a planned ambush near his home in Naples. His death was a direct consequence of his fearless reporting on the collusion between organized crime and local politicians.
The murder shocked Italy and drew widespread public attention, highlighting the dangers faced by journalists who challenge criminal and political powers. Testimonies, court documents, and historical investigations confirm that Siani’s assassination was intended to silence him and to intimidate others who might reveal inconvenient truths. His legacy endures as a symbol of courage, civic responsibility, and the relentless pursuit of justice.
I publish this series of figures to awaken consciences and to remind the world, especially young people, that those who fought for truth, justice, and the rights of the oppressed were often silenced violently. Each person featured represents the courage to confront corruption, abuse of power, and injustice, paying the ultimate price for defending humanity.
This series is a call to remember, reflect, and inspire action: to recognize injustice, to understand the cost of standing for what is right, and to unite in resistance against oppression. Through these stories, I aim to honor their sacrifice and keep alive their message that the people must remain vigilant and courageous.
