The 9/11 Memorial in Wellington has rightfully been named the Patriot Memorial and is a place where people can honor and remember those who died in the September 11th attacks.
The Patriot Memorial in Wellington features a steel beam from the south tower of the World Trade Center, which was an exterior column panel seven floors below where United Airlines flight 175 impacted, to be exact it’s steel beam C-46. This steel beam arrived in Wellington Florida back on December 4th, 2010 and later that month was part of the holiday parade.Nearly 3,000 people died that day and over 400 were first responders who heroically perished performing their sworn duty. Under the pergolas sits four glass panels etched with the names of everyone who lost their lives on that tragic day.The Patriot Memorial was designed by REG Architects, Inc. and “represents the immeasurable loss of life and its calming renewal.”
Date of Dedication: 09/11/2011
