The title of
this post appears as the heading on a plaque affixed to a steel beam recovered
after the World Trade Towers came crashing down fifteen years ago in New York
City . . .
. . . “A tribute to life, lives lost and lives changed
forever, September 11, 2001” is the accompanying sentiment.
It is a day
of infamy forever burnished into the American consciousness by a covert attack from
a band of hate-filled Jihadists emanating in the Middle East.
This
memorial stands in Dunham Park, in the Liberty Corner Section of Basking Ridge,
New Jersey.
Standing on
that venerable, memory-filled steel beam are two American flags below which
rests a fresh bouquet of flowers.
Both were
placed on the beam in memory of the innocent victims from this area of New
Jersey who perished in that disgraceful attack.
