Many locals are not familiar with this work of art because it is placed off of the main road. The cache is placed in an area suitable to view the 9/11 First Responders Memorial created by sculptor Erik Blome.

He began his dedication remarks by saying...

“Selam”
(which means “Peace” in the Ethiopian Amharic Language, the language of the country where my son is from, and also the word for “peace” in Arabic.)
“Shalom”
“Peace”
