A locally produced memorial to 9/11 made with an actual piece of a beam from the World Trade Center.
The Port Authority awarded Decatur, IL a 13 1/2 foot I-beam from the World Trade Center. A Memorial has been built to honor this artifact. We also have constructed a Flight 93 Memorial with a piece of the downed plane as well as a buried Time Capsule.
