Peter C. Alderman was murdered by terrorists
on September 11, 2001 while attending a conference at the World
Trade Center in New York City. He was twenty-five years old.
 The
Alderman family wanted to leave a profound and indelible mark
that Peter existed on this earth.
Terrorism, torture
and mass violence are a global epidemic affecting more than one
billion survivors, one sixth of the earth’s population.
Helping these people is a living memorial to Peter.
