World Trade Center Monument

Military
4
A portion of the World Trade Center South Tower's vertical structural support, once positioned at the transition from the lobby area to the building's second floor and still bearing remnants of concrete from flooring near its top, serves as a tribute to the firefighters who lost their lives at the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001, especially the 343 New York firefighters who perished in the disaster after knowingly risking their safety and lives for the community they served. Their uncommon valor endures as a beacon for future generations of men and women who will put the lives of others before their own.
