Inscription. This historical sculpture is created out of a cut-out section of the original concrete foundation wall that once surrounded the Twin Towers & World Trade Center in NYC, NY. The wall was the last thing standing after 9/11. This piece weighs in at 16,000 lbs. And is on loan from the Floridian artist, Sandra Priest to this Key West VFW Post #3911.

The Blue Freedom is a part of Project 911up, a limited series of 8-ton memorials being placed all around the United States. A smaller sculpture from this same concrete is on the forward deck of the Vandenberg ship, a famous artificial reef diving site, 7 miles off of Key West.
