For
months after September 11th, I
had been wanting to get a memorial tattoo, but wanted to make
sure that it would be something special. After reading about
Captain Terry Hatton and Rescue 1 in Dennis Smiths' book "Report
From Ground Zero", I looked on the Internet for information
about the company. When I went to the Rescue 1 website, I knew
as soon as I saw their emblem that it was the memorial tattoo
I wanted. I had it done at the beginning of June 2002 at the
best studio here in Colorado Springs, "Art With A Pulse",
which has been voted "Best In The Springs" every year
since 1995. The artist who did the work is Aaron Moore. Four
days after I had the tattoo done, I learned that Kenneth Marino,
one of the guys from Rescue 1 lost on September 11th, lived
in Monroe.
