Hope Rising - To Lift A Nation
Hope Rising – To Lift A Nation, is a heroic-size (9ft) bronze monument that depicts the three firemen who raised the American flag at Ground Zero soon after the attacks on the World Trade Center in New York City. The photograph of that poignant moment was captured by Thomas E. Franklin a photographer for The Record, a newspaper in North Jersey. World-renowned sculptor, Stan Watts, was granted permission to create a sculpture in the likeness of this photograph. This monument will stand as a permanent reminder of a day we should never forget. It will serve as a fitting memorial for those we lost in the attacks of 9.11, and have since lost in the war on terror. Most importantly, it will stand as a symbol of the hope we felt on a day we lost so many… yet stood together. About Sculptor Stan Watts
