A large brown, flat slab of rock is in the center of a rock and stone semi-circle and is engraved with the text that reads as follows: "HEROES WALK Remember - Honor - Support To Remember the tragedy of 9/11, Honor the lives lost, and Support all those who fight for freedom. September 11 Universal City, TX" Behind this central rock are four metal display boards on posts, each representing the time chronology of which airplanes crashed, where they crashed and the number of people who died as a result of that respective crash. In order from left to right, the markers read as follows: "8:46 AM - Hijackers aboard American Airlines Flight 11 crash the plane into floors 93-99 of the North Tower of the World Trade Center, killing everyone on board and hundreds inside the building."
