DOWNERS GROVE, Ill. - TelAve -- Following the devastating attack on our country on September 11, 2001, I felt compelled to contribute to the healing process and address the somber mood that had settled over the nation. Through Riviera Marketing, I undertook a creative project aimed at offering comfort and reflection during a deeply difficult time.

As we mark 25 years since that fateful day, we hope everyone will take a moment to watch "We Will Never Forget" on YouTube and reflect on the tragedy, the resilience, and the enduring honor of our nation.

Backstory & Impact: Shortly after the events of 9/11, I wrote, narrated, and produced a mini-CD titled "A Message of Peace." This tribute was designed to help viewers attain solace by featuring slow, peaceful music intended to evoke a sense of calm and contemplation. Accompanying the music were graphics depicting rays of light ascending to heaven, symbolically rising from the location where the Twin Towers once stood. These visuals served as a poignant reminder of the loss, reflecting the collective grief and resilience of our country.

In 2004, the CD was recreated into a DVD titled "We Will Never Forget." While the core content remained unchanged, this version included new artwork and music from the Pearl Harbor (2001) film score, conveying the strong national response and the resolve that action would be taken.

The original discs were distributed widely to various organizations. Recipient feedback highlighted a meaningful impact, proving that even small creative outreach efforts could offer true comfort during a period of national mourning. Notably, both works received letters of commendation from the administrations of Presidents George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush, honoring the project's contribution to the national healing process.

Because "A Message of Peace" was originally released as a mixed-mode CD, it is incompatible with current PC drives and modern software. As a result, that specific format has not yet been converted to digital platforms like YouTube, though efforts remain ongoing to find suitable preservation methods to share it with a wider audience. The current tribute, "We Will Never Forget", can be viewed directly online at https://youtu.be/cdD5cHWNxUU.
