A Firefighter's Dream

Rupert was honoured with the request of paying tribute to the 343 fire-fighters who lost their lives when terrorists bought down the twin towers of the World Trade Centre in New York on September 11th 2001.

His poem 'A Firefighter's Dream' was delivered at a ceremony in Battery Park when a team of Australian and US firefighters arrived there on 9th Anniversary of 9/11, having completed a 30 day run from LA to NY. He then recited it for the New York Fire Department at their Ground Zero memorial at dusk.
