A Statue of Liberty replica was placed here in remembrance of 9/11 to honor all firefighters, policemen, and rescue teams who put their lives at risk to help innocent Americans on that unprecedented September day. It also expresses thanks to every man and woman who has ever fought for the country's freedom and everything it stands for, affirms support for soldiers who risk their lives every day regardless of differing beliefs about war, and finds comfort in the American military serving on the front lines as a safeguard of the nation's freedom.
