Gary Sinise and His Band Will Perform For 9/11 Charity on August 11 in NYC

There’s a tribute wall honoring the first-responders to the World Trade Center on 9/11. It was the brain child of Brooklyn resident, Sol Moglen. According to this article in the Jewish Press:

The granite wall of 155 laser-engraved faces of Brooklyn’s first responders who died on 9/11 – which includes two Jewish firemen, Alan Feinberg and David Weiss – stands on the exterior of KeySpan Park’s west wall, where the Brooklyn Cyclones play baseball.

“How could we not do something special for those who crossed the bridge and never came home?” Moglen remembers thinking.

Moglen is not done, however. He hopes to add an additional 259 faces to the wall, commemorating the lost first responders of all five boroughs. A third Jewish fireman from Manhattan, Stephen Belson, will be among the additions.

Moglen estimates the new expansions will cost $250,000. Actor Gary Sinise – who has donated $50,000 for the cause – and his band will be performing a concert at Brooklyn College on August 11 to raise funds for the project. Tickets are available through Ticketmaster and KeySpan Park’s sales office.

If you live in the New York area, be sure to go see the show.
