In 2010, Prince William County acquired four steel beams from the New York/New Jersey Port Authority. The combined beams weigh 59,768 pounds. After a period of painstaking restoration work and two months of planning, preparation and construction, the four steel beams from the World Trade Center were moved to the 9/11 Memorial. Three of the beams that create the monument stand clustered, leaning together at angles, to depict how the beams may have fallen. The fourth beam stands upright, apart from the others.
On September 11, 2001, 2,977 people died in the unprecedented attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. The Prince William area lost the most people of any region in the metro area, 22 in all. Their names are etched into the Liberty Memorial located near the World Trade Center Steel at the Prince William County Government Center. Their names are listed below so they will not be forgotten:
