My mother sent me this. I have researched this with Snopes – and it is true!
I had never heard of this before receiving it.
Why didn’t the press report it?
This is the "TEAR DROP" made and
installed by the Russians to honor those
who died in 9 / 11 and a statement against
terrorism. It is very impressive.
The tear drop is lined up with the Statue
of Liberty .
Gift from the people of Russia ……."
Monument to the struggle against world
terrorism, artist Zurab Tesereteii"
….it is an impressive memorial and
statement against terrorism.
The walkway is made of stones.
Names of the persons killed on 9 11 are inscribed on the base like the Vietnam Memorial wall. It is down in the shipping yards across from "The Lady".
Sometimes…I wonder about the media.
A dear friend, Padmini Natarajan, has written this fine verse to accompany the sculpture:
So many tears shed to counter terror washing away grits of sorrow, loss grief, pain frozen in stone a gift to clean to wipe out years of hate generations of antipathy one tear drop that has cleansed the carnage
Thank you, Padmini, for so beautifully capturing what we are feeling… |
