Historical Notes
This sign was purchased by the donor from an estate sale in southern New Jersey. It belonged to Harold Edward Spedding (d. 2016), a member of FEMA who responded to the World Trade Center shortly after the February 26, 1993, bombing occurred. Spedding likely acquired the sign while participating in recovery efforts at the site.
