9/11 Firefighter Monument

A monument dedicated to the 343 firefighters that were killed on 9/11 was unveiled recently (from The New York Times).

The first large-scale 9/11 monument at ground zero — a bold, literal and almost neo-Classical 56-foot-long bronze relief dedicated to the firefighters "who fell and to those who carry on" — was unveiled yesterday on the side of "10 House," the home of Engine Company 10 and Ladder Company 10, across Liberty Street from the World Trade Center.

Follow the link. There is an interactive feature with a picture of the entire bas relief that can be viewed.

Next time I'm in New York, this will be a must-see.
