Jerusalem: “9/11 Living Memorial”

The 9/11 Living Memorial, located in the JNF-KKL Arazim Park. The memorial is situated in a comparatively isolated, mountainous setting just outside Jerusalem that promotes sober thought and introspection.

The focal point of the memorial is a massive sculpture standing nearly 30 feet tall, consisting of a waving American flag shaped into a memorial flame. The bronze flag rises from a base forged from steel recovered from Ground Zero and the names of all 2,980 victims of the attacks are inscribed on the walls of the courtyard surrounding the sculpture. The 9/11 Living Memorial is the only memorial sculpture outside the United States to include the names of the nearly 3,000 victims of the attacks.

Ireland: Donadea 9/11 Memorial

New York City’s police and fire departments have traditionally offered employment and opportunity to Irish immigrants, and the ultimate price paid by so many members of these essential services on September 11th continues to resonate in Ireland. Sean Tallon was one of the 343 firemen who died in the course of his duties that day; Tallon’s father was born in Donadea, County Kildare, Ireland.

The Donadea 9/11 Memorial located in Donadea Forest Park consists of two scale replicas of the ill-fated Twin Towers carved from locally-sourced granite blocks. The blocks are engraved with the names of those emergency service men and women who died in the line of duty on September 11th, 2001. The memorial is surrounded by a copse of newly planted Oaks that are expected to live for at least 100 years.

Thank you for this. I have never seen even a picture and wasn’t aware that it was there. It is beautiful.
