The entrance to Southern Manatee Fire and Rescue District took on solemn significance today with the unveiling of a memorial to the victims of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the United States.
Crafted from a 12-foot, two-ton I beam salvaged from ground zero at the World Trade Center, and more than a year in the works, the memorial has elements representing the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and Shanksville, Pa.
The memorial is located at 2451 Trailmate Drive East.
The dedication launches a week of observances around the county on the 10th anniversary of the attacks.
