“9/11 Memorial commemorates the tragic events of that day and honors the heroic efforts made. The Memorial is located at the Overland Park Fire Training Center, and this outdoor memorial serves as an educational site, aiming to inform visitors about the events of 9/11. Its four educational panels, featuring information from the 9/11 Commission Report, narrate the stories of each downed flight. The victim's panel bears the names of nearly 3,000 individuals who lost their lives in the attacks, while a weeping wall fountain symbolizes survival. Standing at 14 feet tall and weighing 2.5 tons, a significant artifact from Ground Zero serves as a poignant reminder of the tragedy. The 9/11 Memorial not only pays homage to those lost but also imparts crucial lessons to future generations about this somber period in history.”
