"The 9/11 Memorial at Windermere, Florida is a memorial dedicated to the victims of the September 11 attacks in New York City, the Pentagon and Flight 93 in 2001. The memorial features a piece of steel from the World Trade Center that fell to the ground among the rubble and debris. Surrounding it are ceramic tiles that honor those who died in the attacks; each person that lost their life had a tile representing their country. A cement path has also been created around the steel from the World Trade Center. The idea for a memorial to the September 11 attacks in Windermere was conceived of by Boy Scout Jeff Cox as part of his Eagle Scout Leadership Service Project. Cox orchestrated the project with the help of his family, the mayor of Windermere, Gary Bruhn and Cox's Boy Scout Troop, Troop 6. The dedication to this memorial was held on Saturday, February 20, 2010. A primary plaque described the September 11 attacks and the memorial. An ancillary plaque was placed in the honor of the mayor, Troop 6, and Cox for erecting the memorial." ( visit link)

Text on the memorial:
Official Trade Center Memorial Site - This memorial honors the innocent men and women who died from the terrorist attacks on 9/11/01. Many brave fire, police and other first responders perished or risked their lives to rescue victims of the attack.
The flagship of our global network of World trade Centers, a shining symbol of vision and optimism, was reduced to rubble tragically within twwo hours. But World Trade Centers everywhere including World Trade Center Orlando responded with one voice. We must redouble our work to bring the world together through international commerce. It is the surest path to world peace.
