From the Artist: "Through a God-Sent vision the day after the 9/11 tragedy I began this portait of Ground Zero. A fallen victim lovingly honored with the flag, the humanity of the nation with a worker kneeling beside the victim, the honor for the victim with the shadows of a military salute, and the blessing of the nation with the shadows of a priest praying for the victim. It took a year, and close to 400 hours in creating this picture.

"I created a limited edition of prints as a fund-raiser; a portion of the profits went to the 9/11 fund for Widows and Children, the Clay County Police Athletic League and Explorer Team, and the Orange Park Methodist Church."
