Steel beams from the World Trade Center in New York City were presented by Weirton Steel Corporation to the Brooke-Hancock Veterans Memorial Park in memory of those who perished during the September 11, 2001 attack on America. The corporation retained three World Trade Center beams for this memorial and recycled the remainder in its steelmaking process. These beams are meant to keep alive the memory of the victims and to remind people of life's fragility, the need to be vigilant, the freedoms shared, and the need to defend those freedoms.
