From First Lady Laura Bush:
“President Bush and I are touched by the many creative ways people across the nation have expressed their patriotism and their admiration for the heroes of September 11, 2001. Your video is a wonderful example of that creativity.”

From Academy Award® Winner Susan Sarandon:
“In an era where citizens feel helpless and are skeptical as to what kind of a difference a volunteer can really make, 'Heart of Steel' illustrates how even just one impassioned individual can move mountains. An important message for students and patrons alike! What M*A*S*H was to the Vietnam war, 'The Heart of Steel' is to 9/11.”
|
From Gary Barber, Library Journal:
"This effective video focuses on the group of "renegade volunteers" who came forward after the 9/11 tragedy, operated without legal authority as such, and soon proved indispensable to police and firefighters by procuring needed supplies.Recommended for large public and academic libraries."

From Video Librarian:
"In collecting this personal testimony about the days following the attack on The World Trade Center, the film serves as a significant documentary resource in its own right, but in the most fundamental terms, The Heart of Steel is simply a powerful demonstration of remarkable courage in the face of disaster after one of the most terrible moments in American history."

From Lian Dolan, Satellite Sisters, ABC Radio Networks:
“'The Heart of Steel' is an extraordinary film about ordinary citizens. I rooted for and cried with this band of renegade volunteers who helped get New York back on its feet after 9/11. What a story! This film should be in every school, every library as a vital part of history.”
|
From Professor Heidi Ardizzone, University of Notre Dame:
“This film is a gripping reflection of the wrenching contradictions of emotion and reaction to 9/11 before the politics of war and global terrorism became the dominant response.”
