Remember Me
The Wall of Remembrance Foundation is dedicated to  the memory of those who sacrificed themselves to save others. It was only fitting that we publish a 10th Anniversary Tribute to these men and Women. The book  will be presented as a gift to each responder’s family and will be  in our online store for purchase to raise funds so we may continue our programs.
In addition to our annual Palm Sunday Interfaith Service, and our  Candlelight memorial service before 9/11 each year, we  host a first Responder Night at the ball park and are sponsoring a program to Welcome Home heroes- our returning soldiers.
Don’t just remember them on 9/11. The lives we celebrate on the Wall of Remembrance deserve to be remembered more for the lives they lived, than their deaths.  As time goes on we will be adding biographical information and portraits. And we hope you will take the time to look at them  and remember.

The Brooklyn Wall of Remembrance in MCU (formerly KeySpan ) Park stands as a graceful and beautiful tribute to those who made the ultimate sacrifice on September 11th, 2001. Comprised of 3 30 x 12 foot granite walls, the Coney Island memorial contains the laser-engraved images of 346 Firefighters, 37 Port Authority Officers, 23 NYC Police Officers, 3 NYS Officers, 1 Fire Patrol, First responders  and 1 K-9 Rescue dog named Sirius. Touched by the magnitude of their sacrifice, Brooklyn-born and raised Sol Moglen conceived of the idea for a memorial . On the Wall, their portraits form a powerful, unforgettable testament, eloquently spoken, reminding us these are real people behind the names and numbers of September 11.

MCU Park- home of the Brooklyn Cyclones- is the perfect setting for the Wall of Remembrance; Coney Island is a historic and beloved site along the ocean. Families come here for comfort, not for grief. To hear the sound of children laughing, feel the sun’s warmth and listen to the quiet voice of the ocean. It was fitting that New York City’s first memorial to 9/11 would be here, in Brooklyn. Fully a third of the responders who died on 9/11 either lived or worked in the Borough. Since its inception, the Wall of Remembrance has become recognized for its beautiful and meaningful tribute to these men and women. Remembering is our responsibility and learning from them is our honor.

Our  limited edition Tribute book, The Fallen HEROES of September 11th- is still available. click here.

From the Sept. 23rd Season Premiere episode of CSI:NY with Gary Sinise. The closing scenes were filmed with family members, NYPD and FDNY at the Wall. It is a beautiful and profoundly moving episode.  Gary did give the keynote speech at the actual Wall Dedication. Read the reaction on our Facebook Page.

And  Please be sure to check out the Gary Sinise Foundation: dedicated to serving the Nation by honoring our defenders, veterans, first responders, their families, and those in need.
