1. 9/11 Memorial

Inscription. This monument is dedicated to the memory and sacrifices of those who lost their lives on that tragic sunny Tuesday fall morning of September 11th of 2001. Your lives, your memories, and your sacrifices will always live on in our hearts and our minds.

The steel beam was pulled from Ground Zero in NYC and symbolizes the lives lost in the World Trade Center, and also the emergency service personnel that lost their lives trying to save the helpless and the injured. The star that surrounds represents United Flight 93, whose passengers and crew sacrificed themselves to keep their plane from hitting its intended target and saving countless lives. And the Pentagon represents the lives lost there and those Service Members who have given the ultimate sacrifice since that day protecting our freedom and defending us to prevent that day from happening again.

September 11, 2001
NEVER FORGET
