9/11 Artifact Unveiling
Today I had the privilege of attending the unveiling of the 9/11 Artifact memorial at NORAD. I was able to take photos and I think they will help tell the story. I have only been to NORAD once before and it was years ago for my son's 4th grade field trip. This time it was even more exciting being there knowing that I had a part in this special day. I came early and left late, just trying to soak it all in.

After NORAD I drove to the campus of UCCS and photographed the 2nd memorial artifact that I had the opportunity to be a part of. It was also unveiled today. I like the fact that this memorial is very accessible to the public.
This monument points toward NORAD and the NORAD artifact points toward New York.

9/11 Artifact #2
 |
| Close-up of 9/11 Artifact #2 As we take time out of our busy lives to pause, remember and honor those killed and injured ten years ago today, I thought I would take a break from the painting that I am currently working on and share with you photos of the second 9/11 artifact that I had the honor and privilege to be involved with. My challenge, once again, was to paint the surface as it looked when it was pulled from the rubble at the World Trade Center. This steel plate will be displayed on the campus of UCCS here in Colorado Springs. This smaller piece will be pointing toward NORAD where the other artifact I painted will be displayed. Let us never forget.   |
