This memorial is quite unique as it features a large propeller on the face of the monument. The color on the tips of the propeller make a nice contrast to the rest of the black monument.
The memorial park where this memorial is located is a very nice and peaceful park. There was plenty or parking available on the street right next to the park. This monument is seperated from the other monuments, but you cannot miss the large propeller. To the side of this monument is a 9/11 memorial.
