In the days following the tragic events of September 11, 2001, this site, St. John's University Manhattan campus, played a vital role in the rescue and recovery effort at the World Trade Center complex.
For three months, the American Red Cross, in conjunction with St. John's University and the City of New York, operated a 24-hour respite center here, offering moral and spiritual support, food services, first aid and a place to rest for the thousands of workers who toiled at Ground Zero.
This plaque is dedicated to the men and women who perished on September 11, 2001, and to the thousands more who tirelessly gave of themselves during this sad chapter in our nation's history.
God Bless America
