“Faces of the Brave” About the Project Las Vegas Artist Randy Soard in cooperation with more than 450 surviving families of the fallen "Heroes" lost on September 11th, have joined together in the creation of the "Not-for-Profit" "Faces of the Brave" 9-11 Memorial Tribute Artwork Project. The "Faces of the Brave" artwork is a Photo-Mosaic comprised of the individual portraits of each of the fallen "Heroes" lost on September 11th 2001. Many of the images contained in the "Faces of the Brave" are from private family collections and have never been viewed by the public. The Purpose and Goal of the Project The Purpose of the "Faces of the Brave" 9-11 Memorial Artwork Project is to "Honor Those Who Protect Us" and to keep alive the memory of "The Best of Humanity" by putting their "Faces" before the public. The Goal of this Project is to educate and encourage the eternal vigilance of all people who cherish "Liberty" and "Freedom" to actively participate in the protection and security of our Nation. "Faces of the Brave" is a meaningful expression of heartfelt gratitude to the fallen "Heroes" of 9-11, the Uniformed Emergency Services personnel and Civilian "Heroes" and their surviving families and loved ones. After nearly five years of development work and dedicated research to secure legal permission from the surviving family members, estate administrators and other interested parties to develop this Project, the "Faces of the Brave" artwork has now been completed.
