Double Check - New York City - Figurative Public Sculpture on Waymarking.com

The plaque reads:

The "everyman" businessman presence in Liberty Park who, before, had faded into the background amongst his human breathren, has been called "the survivor." He was lifted, battered yet whole, from the dust and rubble after the September 11, 2001 tragedy.

Liberty Park was since rebuilt, and this bronze man sits again in his original site, bearing scratches and bruises he sustained that day as a poignant reminder of hope and endurance for us all.

For those who aren't familiar with New York, Liberty Park is right across the street from the World Trade Center site. When we visited on our last trip to the city, we happened across the statue and instantly connected with him. A fellow who represents "everyman," who survived the 9/11 attacks, and again sits --a bit worse for wear-- in the same spot where he started.

When we discovered him in Liberty Park, his briefcase had become a receptacle for trash. Because we found the symbolism inherent in his 9/11 ordeal so powerful, we decided to clean him up and waymark him, hoping that other waymarking visitors would help keep him in good shape. Please stop by, take a pic, and toss any rubbish that may have landed in his lap!
