1. Thanks and Remembrance Marker
In commemoration of the tenth anniversary of the terror attacks of September 11, 2001, the United States Consulate General in Vancouver, on behalf of the people of the United States, wishes to thank the people of British Columbia for their support and generosity following the events of that day.
Canadians received diverted passengers unable to land at their U.S. destinations, opening not only their airports, but also their homes and hearts.
Neither terrorism nor adversity can conquer free people, and we are grateful to stand with neighbors who are willing to share the burdens of trying times and to work together for good. Our profound gratitude goes to all Canadians for the many acts of kindness and support rendered in the wake of September 11, 2001.
Erected 2011 by United States Consulate General in Vancouver.
