Steel Beam Travels Across America | Wilmington News
Description
A steel beam from Ground Zero, recovered by first responders after 9/11, is on a moving memorial tour across 21 states and D.C., carrying the weight of nearly 3,000 lives lost. Designed to bridge generational gaps, the artifact sparks raw emotion—hugs, prayers, tears—as communities connect with history through touch. Stops honor local ties, like Indianapolis’ Task Force One, where six rescuers died from 9/11-related illnesses. The journey continues to West Point, Boston, and D.C., culminating in New York with a tribute retracing Stephen Siller’s heroic run toward the Twin Towers.
