From RUMC’s Facebook page:
Richmond University Medical Center paid tribute to the victims of the attacks on September 11, 2001 with a ceremony in front of the hospital’s 9/11 memorial. Hospital staff, NYPD, FDNY, and community leaders participated along with members of the Blue Knights law enforcement motorcycle organization, FDNY motorcycle organization Rolling Fire, and Rolling Thunder military veterans motorcycle chapter. The ceremony included tributes, a moment of silence, and reflections from community leaders who wanted to share their thoughts and memories of that day 23 years ago.
Among those in attendance were New York State Assembly Member Charles Fall; New York State Assembly Member Michael Reilly; and New York State Assembly Member Sam Pirozzolo. They were joined by representatives from many of the borough’s other elected officials and community organizations as well as senior officials from FDNY, EMS and NYPD.

My name is Sean Fitzpatrick, but you can call me Fitz. I'm a professional photographer from the borough of (Shaolin) Staten Island. I have been shooting since I was 21 years old once I received my first camera after I graduated from the University of Seton Hall. Photography originally started off as a hobby, but now it's become my career. It is the best way I can express who I am as an artist and individual.
