Erick Robertson was a First Responder Cadaver dog handler at Ground Zero in 2001. Over the past 20 years he has been able to interact with people across the country as he spoke about his time there and his work with Search and Rescue K9. Erick learned that a very large percent of the people he spoke to would never have the opportunity to visit the 9/11 National Memorial and Museum in New York City. From that knowledge he started a nonprofit foundation that has been building the largest mobile tribute exhibition in US history that will travel to an estimated 1400 locations across the USA that have honored the victims of 9/11 with monuments made from the steel beams of the World Trade Center Towers. In addition to that memorial exhibition, he has recently launched a 9/11 Remembered "Let's Roll" Podcast tour that will criss cross the country recording the anecdotal stories of America's memories of 9/11/2001. It is Ericks hope that 9/11 will no longer be spoken about just once a year. Thousands have since died from toxic exposure from being at Ground Zero. 9/11 did not end in 2001 and many more lives will be cut short for decades to come because of that attack on our country. It is his greatest hope that continuing to remember the fallen heroes of 9/11/2001 will remind America of how this nation joined together to work through one of the worst days in our modern history. Please take the time to hear his story and follow this incredible journey of remembrance and reflection.
