CA 911 Memorial Reaches Past Mosque to Ironclad Link
with Ground Zero
A 9-11
candlelight vigil at Fire Station No. 88 in the San Fernando
Valley just north of Los Angeles underscores the 750-pound
bond of steel that Los Angeles firefighters share with those
who perished at the World Trade Centers and at the Pentagon.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
PRLog (Press Release) – Sep 01, 2010 – This Sept. 11, amid
the controversy of building a mosque within sight of the
remains of New York's World Trade Center, patriots in Los
Angeles will stand united at a little-known site that puts a
piece of the Big Apple in the suburban heart of the City of
the Angels.
The 911 Memorial Fountain at Los Angeles Fire Department
Fire Station 88, 5101 Sepulveda Blvd., Sherman Oaks, is at
the largest fire house east of the Mississippi, but the
unassuming fountain is a best-kept secret to all but a
handful of commuters in the San Fernando Valley.
The fountain sculpture is made of steel and concrete from
the World Trade Centers and the Pentagon. The fountain was
dedicated on Dec. 11, 2004 after two years of effort by the
911SoCal project.
The human link to 9-11 is that the 70-member Urban Search
and Rescue Team, California Task Force 1 was the first team
in the air to New York on the evening of Sept. 11, 2001. It
was based out of Fire Station 88.
The fountain is the site of the first 9-11 Memorial SFV
Candlelight Vigil, sponsored by the San Fernando Valley
Patriots, an affiliate of the national Tea Party Patriots.
"With all the First Amendment issues surrounding Ground
Zero, we want to make this memorial vigil quiet and sacred,"
says Karen Kenney, coordinator of the San Fernando Valley
Patriots.
"There are five rights in the First Amendment," she adds. "I
think the core issue at Ground Zero is not about
Constitutional rights.
"The Ku Klux Klan had a right to march through Skokie, IL.
The Westboro Baptist Church members have a right to protest
at military funerals," she says. "The Cordoba Institute has
a right to build a mosque. This is not about rights. It is
about human decency."
The SFV Patriots is sponsoring the 9-11 Memorial SFV, on
Saturday, Sept. 11, 2010 from 6:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. The
candlelight vigil starts with public viewing of a nearly
100-foot memorial banner, which lists all 3,010 victims of
the attack on the nation. The program includes readings,
vocals of patriotic and inspirational songs, the "Fireman's
Prayer" and "10 Bells" ceremony, plus playing of "Amazing
Grace" by a trio of Scottish pipers and drummers.
The public is invited to this non-political event. No
political/issues posters, signs, promotion or presentations
are permitted. Admission and parking is free. For
information, call 818-881-7176.
