The monument consists of black and gray granite with two 7-foot structures representing the twin towers of the World Trade Center and a five-sided pool to represent the Pentagon, which was also struck in the terrorist attacks. Further explained on the informational plaques is that the gently swaying grasses in the perimeter garden represent the fields of Shanksville, PA crash site. The gently flowing fountain waters represents the continuity of life. The words "Never Forget" are a theme and the names of all the firefighters, as well as two men from the local fire protection district, who lost their lives are enshrined. The steel beam to the left of the monument was recovered from the World Trade Center site.
Groundbreaking was in November 2010; the Mount Kisco monument was completed and dedicated on the 10th anniversary of the attack, Sept 11, 2011.
