** Worth Repeating ** Looking for Hope, 10 Years After 9/11
What we need to do to rebuild our nation's foundation
by: Jim Toedtman | from: AARP Bulletin | September 1, 2011
Of the thousands of heartfelt messages and placards on the
fence surrounding Ground Zero, one posted by the New York
Fire Department's Ladder Co. 20 raised a defiant cry: "You have
destroyed our buildings, but not our foundation."
Ten years later, the buildings are slowly being rebuilt by 3,000
workers at the site each day.
But how about the foundation? With a fragile economy, a dysfunctional government, devalued institutions and
angry, dispirited citizens, our nation's foundation needs some work, too. Our generations, better than most, know
the state of that foundation. We have borne the brunt of the Great Recession — our homes have lost value, our
retirement savings have shrunk, and the unemployment rate among those over 55 is at historic highs. All the
while and in unprecedented numbers, our children and our parents look to us for support.
Looking for optimism? Visit St. Paul's Chapel, the tiny 245-year-old stone chapel across the street from Ground
Zero.
Miraculously, as the twin towers collapsed, this tiny chapel survived and overnight became an oasis of hope and
rest for thousands of rescue and recovery workers. After arranging the first supper of hot dogs on Sept. 12, the
chapel coordinated an effort that grew day by day and organized, cooked and served up to 3,000 meals daily.
Eventually, the chapel, with an army of 14,000 volunteers, offered health care, rest and relief — even music. It
was a heroic effort. The lessons learned are worth recalling as we seek to fulfill the promise of Ladder Co. 20 and
restore our foundation.
Martin Cowart remembers his cousin's phone call for assistance. He's a New York mortgage banker, but he was
called because church leaders saw the need to feed recovery workers, and Cowart had worked in a restaurant.
Amid the chaos and despair at Ground Zero, during the desperate search for victims and the effort to restore a
degree of order and structure, Cowart and fellow workers mobilized and focused completely on helping the
workers. "No matter what changed, what the rules were, the common goal was to get these people some
food, to get these people to a safe place," Cowart recalled. "It wasn't about being important, or being the
boss or being in charge. It was about belonging to a group that was helping other people. It was totally
human. It was around the energy. People were able to give up their self-interest and do whatever it took
to get the job done."
Today, we have the challenge of restoring a foundation built on our shared history of inventiveness, freedom and
sensitivity to others. We have the unique opportunity of developing a society that respects its elders while
protecting the needs of our children and their children. Just as the workers at St. Paul's learned, it will take focus,
planning, flexibility and resilience. We can learn from them.
At 8:46 a.m. on Sept. 11, guests gathered outside St. Paul's, looked across the street at the World Trade
Center construction site and struck a bell. Just like Big Ben and the Liberty Bell before it, the St. Paul's "Bell of
Hope" was cast at London's Whitechapel foundry. "The ringing of the bell symbolizes the triumph of hope
over tragedy," a nearby sign declared. ggd ☺
