Wilton Sekzer was a New York City cop for 35 years. On 9/11, his son Jason died in Tower 1 of the World Trade Center.
He struggled to find a way to do something for his son's memory. WIlton remembered that, as a helicopter door-gunner in Vietnam, he used to get requests to write names of fallen soldiers on bombs dropped on the enemy. Then the president explained that Saddam Hussein was responsible for the 9/11 attacks. Wilton got an idea.
He emailed all the branches of the armed forces. He got his son's name on the bomb.
