“From Landfill to Hallowed Ground is a compelling saga, detailing the events
following the horrific attack on America on September 11, 2001.
Marra details how many first responders, filled with sadness and disbelief,
selflessly acted with courage, love, and dignity in what became a massive
recovery operation. The heroic efforts of these public servants helped restore
our faith in the human spirit in the face of monstrous acts perpetrated upon so many. We shall never forget what they gave, and the victims will never be forgotten.”

—Anthony J. Marra
Retired Assistant Chief, New York City Police Department
On September 11, 2001, as Commanding Officer of all police services,
Patrol Borough Staten Island, Marra established the crime scene at the Landfill.
