As the end of the year approaches, all of us at VOICES reaffirm our longstanding commitment to promoting resiliency in the lives of those impacted by traumatic events. For over 13 years, we have worked with 9/11 families, responders and survivors, who have given us great insight into their evolving long-term needs. And, through our 9/11 Living Memorial Project, a digital collection of over 70,000 photographs commemorating the nearly 3,000 lives lost, future generations will Always Remember their lives in a meaningful way.

The gift of love, the gift of peace, the gift of hope. May all these blessings be yours during this holiday season and in the coming year. Happy Holidays from our family to yours!

At this time of Thanksgiving, we pause to count our many blessings. We are grateful for your support and friendship, and the many ways you have touched our lives.

The theme for this year's gala was "Building Bridges." An anonymous quotation says, "Everyone is given stones. But what do we build? Is it a wall or a bridge?" This year we were honored to have several special guests - extraordinary individuals whose leadership and collective efforts in their respective fields have inspired those who have had the privilege of knowing them.

Many of you know Edie Lutnick, Co-Founder and President of the Cantor Fitzgerald Relief Fund and Author of An Unbroken Bond. We wanted to make sure you are aware that Edie will be speaking at the Raritan Valley Community College in Branchburg, NJ tomorrow evening - Thursday, November 13 at 6:30 pm.

In many cities across the United States, communities are observing Veterans Day by gathering together for a Veterans Day parade. New York is no exception, and the VOICES team is proud to be marching alongside the Wounded Warriors today.

Once again, Voices of September 11th (VOICES) is proud to be marching with the Wounded Warrior Project in the upcoming Veterans Day Parade in New York City on Tuesday, November 11th!
