This memorial tree

Rescuers and recovery workers responded to the 9/11 attacks at the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, amid a nation in shock and mourning and a landscape of mangled, jagged steel. Their determination and sacrifice endured long after the fires stopped burning, and their heroic actions eventually led to injury, sickness, and death for some even years later. A seedling from the Survivor Tree at Ground Zero honors those selfless men and women who responded to the attacks and carries forward their example of dedication to others, their resolve, and their courage, which gave hope to the nation in a time of darkness and continues to inspire friends, colleagues, and people around the world. Those named are Leonard W. Hatton, John O'Neill, Paul H. Wilson, Robert Martin Roth, Laurie Fournier, Jerry D. Jobe, Gerard D. Senatore, William Robert Craig, Mark Joseph Mikulski, Steven A. Carr, Wesley J. Yoo, Rex Aaron Stockham, Dennis Bonelli, Mark Johnston, Brian Lawrence Crews, David LeValley, Melissa S. Morow, William "Homer" Lewis, and Saul Tocker.
