Bronx World Trade Center Memorial in Throggs Neck

Saturday, January 8th, 2005

The memorial will be erected on the corner of East Tremont Avenue and the Cross Bronx Expressway. It will center around a large stone marker made of Dakota mahogany culled from the same quarry as used in the Mount Rushmore sculpture. The stone will be inscribed with the phrase “We will always remember” above a sketch of the World Trade Center. The names of 15 community members whose lives were lost on the day of the terrorist attacks will be listed, and the bottom of the stone will read “God Bless America.”
