This sculpture represents the common man. The plaque states:
"The flame represents those Americans who have given their lives and will not be forgotten. As he picks up the flame from the ground, destruction is transformed into action, honor and remembrance. He faces East towards New York, the Statue of Liberty, and the morning sun, symbols of hope, promise, and a new day. The sculpture symbolizes the courage of the American Spirit, which bravely faces adversity with patience, wisdom, and a determination to succeed. This memorial honors all citizens who lost their lives simply as a result of being Americans."
