Pennsauken “We Shall Never Forget” 911 Memorial Features Life Size Statues
The “We Shall Never Forget” Memorial is located on the corner of Rt. 130 and Merchantville Avenue in Pennsauken Township, NJ and was dedicated in October 2005.
This gleaming bronze and black granite memorial depicts a survivor of the terrorist attack surrounded by a police officer, firefighter, emergency medical technician and a police dog. The life-size figures are set against a 30-foot black-granite wall that rises 8 feet. The sculptural group is surrounded by granite paving blocks.
It was created by Brian P. Henlon - the same person that made the Brick Township “Weeping Angel” sculpture.
“This sculpture focuses on the survivors and celebrates the services these people provide in every community,” explains the sculptor. “It took a horrific event to make us recognize the outstanding work these public servants provide quietly every day in every community.” He prefers to call his sculpture “a tribute” rather than a memorial.
