– thank you’s & acknowledgements
– dedication if desired

The Story Behind the Signatures on the WTC Panoramic Poster:
How Everen T. Brown’s WTC Panoramic poster came to be signed by first responders, and how the signed poster became the cover of “We’ll Carry On”.
The now famous photo became the World Trade Center Panoramic Poster Project – A view from the top of the World Trade Center, January 1st 2001.
