Norristown, Pennsylvania, 911 Memorial
Friday, November 25th, 2005
Sassona Norton has designed Montgomery County’s 911 Memorial. The assembly and installation of the memorial, which will honor those who died on Sept. 11, at the Swede Street side of the county courthouse in Norristown may begin as early as the spring. The memorial will consist of a 16-foot piece of twisted steel from the wreckage of the World Trade Center, which will sit in a pair of hands. The twisted steel beam and hands will be atop a slanted column that will sit on a circle that reads: “September 11, 2001. The Many Who Died. The Many Who Fought. Memories Never Die.” It will be cast in bronze.
