10th Anniversary Memorial Field - Mayor Bloomberg 09/12/11

Along side the opening of 9/11 Memorial & Museum at Ground Zero, Mayor Bloomberg visited 9/11 Memorial Field of Honor held in Battery Park, where he helped planting a tree in memory of all innocent victims who died that horrific day.

As part of the official 9/11 Tenth Anniversary Commemoration in NYC, a 3000 flag 9/11 Field of Honor was created within sight of Ground Zero. This One Life ~ One Flag tribute was the only 9/11 forum open to the general public and was visited by over half a million people. Each flag represented one life that was taken on 9/11. The Field was erected by volunteers from all 4 branches of the military and taken down by volunteers from the Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 3 in NYC.
