9-11 Memorial Park - Gold Beach, OR - 9/11 Memorial Sites on Waymarking.com

After logging a nearby benchmark located in the steps to the entrance of Gold Beach High School I noticed a plaque imbedded in a boulder next to a flag pole. The plaque is a 9-11 Memorial in honor of the victims and heroes who lost their lives on that tragic day, September 11, 2001.

The plaque dedicates the area in front of the high school as a community park although the area is a smaller, maintained green lawn and not much else. Either way, I know the community of Gold Beach as a whole recognized that fateful day and wanted to memorialize the event in the most central part of Gold Beach that didn't already have monuments attached to it (like the Curry County Courthouse, which has a WWI & WWII plaque) and this high school location was perfect.

The plaque says the following:

IN HONOR OF THE VICTIMS AND HEROES OF
SEPTEMBER 11, 2001, WE DEDICATE THIS COMMUNITY
PARK AND REDEDICATE OURSELVES TO THE SERVICE
OF OUR COMMUNITY AND COUNTRY.
9-11

ON 9-11-01 AMERICANS BECAME MORE
