“The effort of VOICES is inspirational and truly an example of good coming out of evil.”
Christopher Shays
Former U.S. Representative
Voices Center for Resilience is a good example of a charity that has stood the test of time. This is an organization that has gotten stronger over the years and their reach and impact is literally in the thousands.
Vincent Lumia
Managing Partner at Morgan Stanley, which lost 13 colleagues on 9/11
In making the decision to go down there, it wasn’t really a decision of whether I would go, or what I would do, but rather, how do I get there fast enough?
Ben Tickner
Volunteer Responder
With VOICES support, WTC United Family Group has been able to enhance the bond that the 9/11 community shares with the Oklahoma City bombing community.
Anthony Gardner
Director of Communications and External Affairs, September 11th Victim Compensation Fund
I love the Living Memorial because it shows that those who were lost on 9/11 were not statistics. They are persons. Their personalities and everything about them comes through.
Carol Ashley
9/11 Living Memorial Project Participant, Mother of Janice Ashley
These groups are a soft place to fall. When the rest of the world has moved on, we find ourselves wringing our hands and silencing our voices. In the group, we can talk about anything with people who understand.
Teleconference Support Group Member
Sister of 9/11 victim
We cannot afford to ignore the important lessons we learned about the world and ourselves in the aftermath of 9/11. Always Remember is indeed a phrase we must live by, especially as we move forward into the 21st century.
Former President Bill Clinton
