9-11-11 : Stan and I attended a 9-11 memorial service this morning in Millersville, Maryland where two pieces of steel from the World Trade Center have been put on display. It is a beautiful memorial park display. Pieces of the WTC have been distributed all across the U.S., in every state, for display in memorial parks. http://edgewater.patch.com/articles/work-complete-on-911-memorial-in-millersville-2#photo-7605426 http://www.annearundelartscouncil.org/opportunity/visual-arts/40-arts-visual/298-9-11-memorial-fund During the past three years, the Port Authority of New York & New Jersey, which owns the World Trade Center, has released more than 1,200 steel artifacts from the collapsed towers for use in public memorials. World Trade Center steel lies at the heart of monuments in 50 states, several other countries and the USS New York. Patch has reported on the acquisition of those artifacts and construction of associated memorials in at least 70 U.S. communities, many of which plan to unveil or dedicate their local 9/11 tributes on Sunday. No ordinary monuments, these near-sacred relics have been sought and claimed by firefighters and Legionnaires, town folk and clergy, teenage Scouts with no kin among 9/11’s victims and school children too young to have formed their own memories of its images. In 2008, the Port Authority began releasing remnants of World Trade Center steel debris from Hanger 17 at John F. Kennedy International Airport, where it had been hauled and stored during the site clean-up. Again, Americans stood shoulder to shoulder over 9/11, gathering for the passage of beams and debris. They lined streets, highways and bridges. Bagpipe bands played “Amazing Grace.”
