9/11 Memorial near Tampa


This is a memorial just north of Tampa in a town named Oldsmar.

The memorial consists of a granite base on which the I-beam section of steel from one of the World Trade Center towers is affixed. The steel beam is set on metal scroll work of the number 343, the number of New York City firefighters killed that fateful day. The walkway to the memorial is made of brick pavers that have inscribed upon them the names of each of the 343 firefighters and their unit assignments.
