The sculpture was dedicated on May 30, 2004 and exhibited through June 6th.  During the dedication, children from the Allied Nations recited a prayer written for the occasion called “Roll Call of Remembrance.”  Each subsequent evening they participated in a Candlelight Remembrance, of which the burning flames were conduits to the memory of those who fell.

Several partners were involved with making this great accomplishment possible, including Dear Abby, HBO, the International Union of Painters and Allied Trade, and the International Association of Iron Workers.

Currently, the Commission is actively engaging in a project to have Sands of Remembrance as a documentary to be entered into film festivals around the world.
