Probably the most significant association in the history of Sarasota is its connection with John Ringling and the circus.

Now Gene Sweeney and his group SALT OF THE EARTH USA   www.saltoftheearthusa.org   would like Sarasota to be known forever in American history for its noteworthy place in the events that unfolded on September 11th.

SALT OF THE EARTH USAis an organization formed by Sweeney (A successful semi retired businessman and USAF Vietnam Era Veteran living in the Sarasota area) to provide recognition for those who lost their lives in the tragic terrorist acts committed on September 11, 2001 at the World Trade in New York City, the Pentagon in Washington DC and in a field near

Shanksville, PA . and our servicemen and women who sacrificed their lives since 9/11 in the fight against terrorism. 

Sarasota has a connection with these events in that the terrorists who flew the planes were trained to fly at the Venice, Airport. Americans and people all over the world are familiar with the video of President George W. Bush, in a second-grade classroom at the Emma E. Booker Elementary School in Sarasota, being informed of the attacks on that September morning.

Gene Sweeney has been granted an original steel beam from the World Trade Center Tower One. He has complete an agreement with Sarasota County Officials to use that beam as the centerpiece of  a memorial monument to 9-11 Victims and Fallen Military Heroes on the grounds of Patriots Park in Venice, FL.

 Sweeney has been working with both Venice City Officials and Officials from Sarasota County which have been very cooperative and the building permit has been granted. A “verbal” ground-breaking ceremony was held on the tenth anniversary September 11, 2011. A formal dedication ceremony will be held upon the completion of the Memorial.

The funds raised for this project will be managed and dispersed by Salt of the Earth USA LLC.
