Steel is a strong, highly versatile alloy made primarily of iron & small amount of carbon. It’s the foundation of modern infrastructure & prized for its immense tensile strength, durability & infinite recyclability.
The Steel Across America tour is a reflection of these properties. In each city it visits, it brings together the community of neighbors, First Responders & patriotic Americans who have vowed to Never Forget 9/11/2001.
The infrastructure of each community mobilizes & stands together to show honor, remembrance & support the American spirit of helping & being there for each other in times of need. All the resources needed on 9/11 created the infrastructure needed to rescue, recover & move America out of the darkness of that day into a unified sentiment of assistance for the human spirit.
The strength of the American people came together with the immense strength that seemed to be stronger than the steel which built the Towers. As strong as steel is, it will never be stronger than the American resolve on & after 9/11. The will of a united, determined America can never be fully destroyed, it is steadfast & always ready to conquer any challenge it may face.
Each location the Steel visits, it regenerates the spirit of togetherness, strength & an undying commitment to remember & honor all the lives lost. T2T’s commitment is only possible through the spirit of helping, getting involved & donating to achieve the mission.
Steel. It’s more than a metal beam. It’s a vision of the past, present & future of our American experience as we come together at each city, you can feel the energy & sense of pride that has enriched every American heart. We are immensely grateful to have been a part of the tour here in the great state of Arizona.
In the words of President Bush “Terrorist attacks can shake the foundation of our biggest buildings, but they cannot touch the foundation of America. These acts shattered steel, but they cannot dent the steel of American resolve.”
