- Historical Notes
- Brooklyn resident Debora Jackson had the impulse to help after 9/11. She began volunteering with the Salvation Army and eventually spent several months serving in the respite/relief tents around Ground Zero. Jackson built strong relationships with recovery workers she met at the site, many of whom signed her hard hat.
