Our partners at Project Rebirth are working to raise awareness about the importance of first responders and crisis management in communities and have recently released a new public service announcement.

The organization stems from the feature-length documentary “Rebirth.” From early 2002 through 2009, the film chronicled the lives of five people directly affected by 9/11 and simultaneously tracks – via multi-camera time-lapse photography – the evolution of the former World Trade Center and the rebuilding of the site.

Get information about organizing a community screening of “Rebirth” at projectrebirth.org.

Staff photographer Amy Dreher snaps a lot of pictures at the World Trade Center site, documenting the construction progress of the 9/11 Memorial. Amy also trains her lens on the smaller pieces that may be overlooked with a project of this magnitude. Through “The Lens: Viewing the 9/11 Memorial,” readers of The MEMO blog can share some of the unique vantage points captured by Amy.

Mayor Bloomberg: "The southern tip of Manhattan has held a unique position of importance in North America and the world at large."

Lower Manhattan has more to see, more to do and more in New York to experience than any other single square mile in America. A unique blend of old and new, classic and contemporary, this is a place that celebrates the past and looks to the future.  The Brooklyn Bridge, Wall Street, the New York Stock Exchange, the Statue of Liberty and the South Street Seaport will soon be joined by the National September 11 Memorial & Museum.

Today, 9/11 President Joe Daniels appeared on Fox News' "Fox & Friends" to defend the important artifact recently installed in the 9/11 Memorial Museum, which you can read more about here.

Update: Read more about some of the artifacts that will be part of the 9/11 Memorial Museum at FoxNews.com.

The mission of the National September 11 Memorial Museum, opening in September 2012, is to tell the history of 9/11 through historic artifacts like the World Trade Center Cross.  In the historical exhibition, the Cross is part of our commitment to bring back the authentic physical reminders that tell the story of 9/11 in a way nothing else can.

In addition to the Cross, other religious artifacts that will be displayed in the 9/11 Memorial Museum's historical exhibition include a Star of David cut from World Trade Center steel and a Bible fused to a piece of steel that was found during the recovery effort.
