9/11 Memorial

My cousin emailed this to me yesterday. He wondered why it was never given publicity. I don't recall any either. My daughter said that it looked familiar to her but she did not remember where she saw it. That does seem strange. In any case, I thought I would post it for those not familiar with it.

This is a gift that was given to the United States of America by the people of Russia, to commemorate those who died in the attack on the World Trade Center on 9/11.

It is called "Monument to the Struggle Against World Terrorism" and the artist is Zurab Tsereteli.

The tear drop is a very impressive tribute and is located across the river, directly in line with the Statue of Liberty.
