WTC Families for Proper Burial

WTC Families for Proper Burial

Realizing that the ashes of many of those killed at the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001, have been unceremoniously left at the Fresh Kills Landfill, a city garbage dump, we, the undersigned families, friends and concerned citizens, agree with and support the mission of the WTC Families for Proper Burial:

To ensure the removal from The Fresh Kills landfill of the ashen remains of those killed on September 11, 2001.

To place these ashen remains in appropriate containers.

To return these ashen remains to The World Trade Center site to be part of the planned WTC memorial for their respectful, dignified and final resting place.

My Daddy is not garbage, as spoken by a child who lost her father at The World Trade Center on September 11, 2001, speaks to the heart of this issue. In order to alert the public to a gross indignity being committed against those killed on September 11, 2001, a newly formed advocacy group, WTC Families for Proper Burial, has been established. The group includes families, friends and concerned citizens from across the United States and abroad. One of their goals is to inform the public that the ashen remains of those killed at the World Trade Center have been left in a dump, The Fresh Kills Landfill, in Staten Island, NY. Requests to retrieve these remains for a proper burial have been ignored.
