Today- Yom Kippur, NY Parks Department took the vigil away.
They came in a truck, loaded up all the candles and signs and flags and sculptures, and took them away to an "archive".
A new vigil was born that night
More pics on that coming...
I was looking for a heated vest on BMW Online and saw their new top banner included an appeal for the WTC victims and a link directly to the Red Cross.

And then I was lucky enough to get these first peek pics of the X5 SAV's BMW is giving to help the Red Cross in it's Disaster Relief efforts in New York City.

Damn, it's good to know you have friends.

I know these SAV's are going to be great for the rescue workers, because they were made by the caring and skilled hands of our friends at BMW Spartanburg.

I know when I see them in New York, I am going to feel a connection with Spartanburg.

I am proud to have a friend like BMW. It took them all of 12 days to come through with 10 SAVs. God Bless Them.

September 14, 2001 - The BMW Group is committing cash and products to the American Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund and the City of New York to assist in relief efforts following Tuesday's attack on the United States.

BMW will donate $1 million in cash and ten new BMW X5 Sports
Activity Vehicles to the Red Cross for its national relief efforts. One hundred police motorcycles will be given to the City of New York to help replace equipment lost in the New York Police Department motor pool. The total donation is valued at $2.4 million.

In a joint statement, the chief executives of BMW's manufacturing, sales and marketing, financial services, technology and design companies said "on behalf of our employees, dealers, and customers, we hope this donation will assist the relief effort, honor the memory of
those who lost their lives, and show our appreciation for the freedom and opportunity this country offers."

The BMW companies in the United States are located in
Spartanburg, SC; Woodcliff Lake, NJ, Dublin, OH, and Newbury Park, CA.
