Overview

The Ground Zero Honor Tour provides a unique opportunity to confront
the history of September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on America, alongside Michael Burke, brother of FDNY Capt. Billy Burke, Jr. Visit with me
the iconic Koenig Sphere, a battered survivor of 9/11. Officially banned from the memorial as a testament to the attacks and a symbol of our resilience, I led the fight to restore it to Ground Zero. Visit the FDNY Memorial Wall, where I spoke at its dedication, and the St. Nicholas Shrine. Hear Capt. Burke's heroic story and of the lives he saved. Gain first hand insights into the contentious memorial process. Perfect for those seeking a genuine understanding of the meaning, magnitude and impact of the attacks and the aftermath.

- Guided tour led by Michael Burke, a 9/11 family member
- Visit key sites including the Koenig Sphere and FDNY Memorial Wall
- Hear personal stories of loss, bravery, and resilience
- Ideal for those wanting to honor and appreciate the 9/11 tragedy
