"A Prayer for My Brother" by William S. Phillips is a fine art print commemorating the tenth anniversary of 9/11 and the heroes of that day.

Phillips was actually a firefighter before he became an artist. The events on 9/11, ten years ago now, shook him to his core. “You become a firefighter because you are driven by a sense of community and purpose,” Phillips relates. “Firefighters always have, and always will be, walking into that burning building looking to save lives.”

As a firefighter from Oregon, Bill had painted this iconic and heroic work of art to support firefighters nationwide.

For 10 years, "A Prayer for My Brother" has provided funds to the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation, whose mission is to honor and remember America's fallen fire heroes and to provide resources to assist their survivors in rebuilding their lives.

“The self sacrifice continues in every corner of this country and beyond. Some of those men and women rushing into buildings today may have been only a child when 9/11 occurred," Phillips said. "It is the same spirit of community and purpose that drives these firefighters today as it did that fateful day in New York City ten years ago.”
