Welcome to the Point Thank You home page!

May 31, 2002 - Yesterday, a ceremony was held to mark the end of the recovery efforts at Ground Zero. Updating this page to reflect this change is not easy. Many of us, Ground Zero workers, family members and volunteers alike are now dealing with a loss of a different kind, but a very real loss nonetheless.

While we at Point Thank You may no longer be standing out on the Hero Highway, and are no longer seeking volunteers to hold up signs to show our support, we are far from done. In some ways, we are just beginning. Our plan is to continue our "thank you" efforts in various ways - by visiting police precincts and firehouses, working on getting signatures on our petition to have a section of West Street renamed "Hero Highway", and other volunteer projects. 
 
I will continue to update the website with new pictures, "News of the Nuts", and other items as they become available. So, keep coming back!
 
If you work with any of the organizations involved in the recovery efforts (Police, Firefighters, EMTs, Salvation Army, St. Paul's, etc.), and are looking for "a few good nuts" to help cook, sort mail, clean... whatever, feel free to e-mail us at pointthankyou@yahoo.com.
 
To our many heroes,
 
Even though Point Thank You may stand empty, a little bit of each of us will always be there. A little bit of Point Thank You will always be within each of us as well.
 
Know that we will always be with you in spirit, and you will always be in our hearts. We will never forget you.

Your help is needed! The mission of WTC Families for Proper Burial is to have the ashen remains of WTC victims removed from the Fresh Kills Landfill, place the ashen remains in appropriate containers and return them to the WTC site to be part of the planned WTC memorial for their respectful, dignified and final resting place.

Currently, these remains are still at the Fresh Kills landfill, left in a garbage dump. If you haven't already signed it, please take a few minutes to visit their website to find out how you can help, and to sign the petition here.
