Boston’s 9/11 Memorial is in the Boston Public Garden and commemorates 93 state residents — most on the two hijacked planes out of Boston — who died. In total 177 families lost family on the day. It was dedicated in 2004 in a ceremony attended by John Kerry during his Presidential Campaign. It is located near the Arlington Street Entrance.
The Massachusetts Port Authority (MASSPORT) had a contest in 2003 for a 1.6 acre for a 9/11 memorial at the entrance to Boston Logan Airport’s Terminal Area and is located adjacent to the Hilton Hotel and the West Garage. The memorial site was selected because of its visibility, pedestrian accessibility, and proximity to the Hilton Hotel, the center of Care Team operations (Care Teams from the Authority and the airlines administered to the friends and families of the 9/11 passengers).
