On September 11, 2001, a group of terrorists hijacked 4 airplanes and carried out a suicide attack against the United States. Two of the airplanes flew right into the Twin Tower of World Trade Center in New York City, and almost, 3,000 people lost their lives and were injured that day. Many Americans were affected that day because of this attack. Although there are many memorials located in many towns, the front of the 9-11 Memorial Park in East Rutherford has a piece of structural steel from the World Trade Center to show the remembrance of those who lost their lives and those who responded so bravely during this attack. Behind this monument, there are names of those who lived in East Rutherford whose lives were taken. It also includes the different times where the 4 airplanes attacked: World Trade Center 1, World Trade Center 2, The Pentagon, and Shanksville, PA. This memorial is right at the end of the train track that separates Rutherford from East Rutherford. I have seen this 9-11 Memorial Park as I pass by and continue to pass by everyday as I am heading home or leaving Rutherford. Every night, this memorial is lit to remind all of Americans that we will always remember and never forget.
