Niece of 9/11 Victim Makes Appeal for Peace

HeadlineSep 12, 2013

At the World Trade Center, 9/11 families continued the annual tradition of reading each victim’s name out loud. After honoring her slain uncle, 15-year-old Brooklyn teenager Brittney Cofresi made an appeal for peace as the United States considers military action against Syria.

Brittney Cofresi: “My uncle, Salvatore T. Papasso. I was only three when you were taken from us, and we love you and miss you very much. And, President Obama, please do not bring us to another war.”
