The National September 11 Memorial & Museum is launching a grassroots effort to help build a lasting tribute to honor the innocent lives lost in the attacks of September 11, 2001 and February 26, 1993, and preserve the memory of those events for future generations.
To involve as many people as possible, the Memorial & Museum have created a traveling exhibition that tells the story of September 11 from the point of view of victims' families, first responders, survivors, and everyday people who came together on that terrible day and in the agonizing days that followed.
Individuals and communities across the country will have a chance to contribute directly to this historic effort by signing a steel beam that will be used in the construction of the National September 11 Memorial & Museum. The exhibition will also feature a timeline of the events, photographs, artifacts, and a short film.
