May 30, 2012 marks the 10th
anniversary of the formal end of the nine-month recovery operations
at the World Trade Center site following the 9/11 attacks. During
this time, tens of thousands of men and women came to the site to
assist in any way they could. Their selfless commitment was the
first step in rebuilding the World Trade Center and revitalizing New
York City.
For those who participated in the 9/11 rescue, recovery,
and relief efforts, a special Thank You Tribute will be held at
the 9/11 Memorial on May 30th. We invite recovery workers to read
the letter below for more information.
Dear 9/11 Recovery Workers:
The City of New York and the National
September 11 Memorial & Museum invite the men and women who
participated in the 9/11 rescue, recovery, and relief efforts to
attend a special Thank You Tribute at the 9/11 Memorial. This event
will be held on May 30, 2012, the 10th anniversary of the end of the
recovery, starting at 6:30 p.m. The event will take place rain or
shine. We are honored to host those who made the rebuilding of the
World Trade Center possible, at the very site you helped
transform.
Because capacity on the Memorial is limited
as surrounding construction continues, you must register and reserve
a pass to attend the Thank You Tribute. Please follow the link below
to register.
The story of the rescue and recovery efforts
following the 9/11 attacks is one that continues to inspire all of
us, and will be one of the most important aspects of history
preserved in the 9/11 Memorial Museum at the World Trade Center.
By registering for this event, you'll also
help us build the 9/11 Memorial Museum's Recovery and Relief Workers
Registry and Scroll of Honor, an important and lasting tribute to
all of you who served in the aftermath of 9/11. The Scroll of Honor
will be a permanent installation surrounding the Last Column, the
last steel beam to be removed from the site on May 30, 2002. When
the Museum opens, the Last Column and the surrounding Scroll of
Honor will stand tall in tribute to your selfless work for
generations to come. Before making a reservation, you will be asked
to answer a series of questions that will help us build this special
part of the Museum. We will contact you later to ask if you would
like to provide further information about your work in the recovery
efforts for the Museum's historical archives.

Workers and provide your information to the Recovery and Relief

forward to welcoming you to the 9/11 Memorial in sincere
gratitude.
Sincerely,
Michael R.
Bloomberg
Mayor, City of New
York
