Utah State University 911 memorial at Kaysville
The Utah Unites in Hope 911 Memorial is by the Utah Botanical Garden at Utah State University in Kaysville.
The simple and graceful monument will be a curving walkway with a stone wall on one side that has a crumbling wall and then is rebuilt into a strong rock wall to signify the nation’s coming together in unity after Sept. 11. It includes a small reflecting pool and a fiber optic light for each of those killed on Sept. 11. Names of Utahns killed in the attacks and the war on terrorism were read, and it was noted that all of them were from Bishop’s district.
Three Utahns were killed on Sept. 11: Mary Alice Wahlstrom and Carolyn Beug on Flight 11; and Brady Howell at the Pentagon.
Six Utah soldiers have died in Iraq: Sgt. James Cawley, on March 29, 2003; Sgt. Nino D. Livaudais, April 3, 2003; Capt. Nathan Dalley, Nov. 11, 2003; Sgt. David J. Goldberg, Nov. 26, 2003; Sgt. Juan Cabral, Jan. 31, 2004; and Sgt. Clint Ferrin, March 13, 2004.
