"Tribute In Light" Memorial
"Dusk now draped the city. The time had come. A girl named Valerie Webb, 12 years old and an orphan, turned to her left to throw a switch. Gradually they materialized: two soaring towers of light, defiantly piercing the night sky from the wounded western stretch of Lower Manhattan.
These luminous ghosts, created by the strategic positioning of 88 high-powered searchlights, were the final tribute in a series of public efforts yesterday to remember what hardly had been forgotten. That exactly six months ago, on September 11, a terrorist attack destroyed the World Trade Center and killed more than 2,800 people, including that young girl's gentlemanly father, Officer Nathaniel Webb of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey."
- Dan Barry, New York Times (3/12/02)
