On September 11th 2001, when terrorist struck the WTC, Pentagon, and aircraft over Pennsylvania we gasped
as a nation. The United States, as well as many other countries felt the ignorance of terrorism in
it's glory, and we were struck with shock. To honor those we lost as well as the living victims
and to give our children a means of expression, a genuine ability to participate in the healing
process of all, the Heart of America Quilt has taken form.
On September 13th the journey began for the Heart of America Quilt, with it's effort to help the
families, friends, and our country heal from this great tragedy. In the process the Heart of America
Quilt has touched the lives of many. This Sept. 11th memorial quilt has helped to unite and heal
the children, schools, and communities that have taken part. Now expected to be an acre in size this
memorial for the victims of Sept. 11th and the war on terror has engulfed other nations as well as
The United States of America.
