Paul Murdoch Architects converted a former 2,200 -acre coalmine in Shanksville, PA, where Flight 93 was downed, into a permanentmemorial operated by the National Park Service. Guests undertake a series of experiencesstrolling through alls, pathways, wetlands, orchards, and a raised tower of Voices. They all lead to the Wall of Names, a series of white marble slabs on the crash site inscribed with the names of the victims.

KBAS Studio have created a stark gravel field filled with 184 molded and cantilevered concrete, granite, and stainless steel benches, placed along the trajectory of Flight 77. Each bench, or Memorial Unit, is engraved with the name and birth year of avictim.The architects describe it as a place that inspires contemplation but does not prescribe what to think or how to feel.

Located at the Wesley Bolin Memorial Plaza near the State Capitol in Phoenix, Moving Memories, designed by Jones Studio and coLAB Studio, is a concrete disc topped by an elevated ring of stainless steel and laser cut with 54 quotes related to the attack.As the sunshine moves, light pass through the etchings and projects them onto the ground below. Some of the phrases, many taken from local newspaper articles, proved controversial, including must bomb back, anxiety of foreigners, and Erroneous US air strike kills 46 Uruzgan civilians. Officials decided to remove the last of these, but maintained almost everything else.

Created by Russian artist Zurab Tsereteli, this monument, also known as the Tear Drop Memorial, stands at the end of Bayonnes Military Ocean Terminal. The 10 -story-tall, 175 -ton bronze structure recreates the forms of the Twin Towers, with a jagged rend through its center and a 4-ton nickel tear hanging from the top. The structure, largely funded by Russia( this monument will always be a testimony to our unity in the fight against continued threat, Vladimir Putin said at the Dedication Ceremony) opened in 2006. Ironically Russia has become something ofa threat, itself, in the intervening years.

Located on the grounds of the Beverly Hills Fire Department, this memorial gardendesigned by Peteris Architects and Oakcrest Landscape centres around atwisted steel member of the original World Trade Center positionedatopa Pentagon-shaped granite base. Nearby stand basaltreplicas of the Twin Towers and a smalltriangular field of greenery and blooms, representingShanksville. Encased in the foundation are copies of the Declaration of Independence, the US Constitution, the Gettysburg Address, and a piece of the aircraft from Flight 77.

Created by local artist Jorg Dubin, Semper Memento ( Latin for” always remember “) comprises two steel rays from the original World Trade Center angled above a stainless steel sphere, supported by a pentagon-shaped cement base.Located in the citys Heisler Park, the statue has been the victim of vandalism three times, including a recent 5-inch-wide dent found in the realm. More 9/11 monuments are located in nearby Hermosa Beach and Manhattan Beach.

The piece, placed next to Indianapolis Fire Station 13 in downtown, consists of two 11,000 -pound beams from the Twin Towers. Behind the rays stand granite monuments with inscriptions and timelines of the events of 9/11. Perched atop one of the beams is a bronze, life-sized sculpture of an American Bald Eaglewith wings outstretched, its gaze directedtoward New York City.

This 14 -foot-tall bronze sculpture, representative of pilots, flight attendants, and passengers of the flights that went down on 9/11, was designed by Bryce Cameron Liston and sculpted by Dean Thompson. Sitting on a block of white limestone, it illustrates two pilots, two flight attendant, and small children. Granite pavers engraved with the names of 9/11 crew members encircle the site.

Honoring the passengers and crews of American Airlines Flight 11 and United Airline Flight 175, which departed from Logan Airport on September 11, the commemoration is anchored by a cube of texture glass, two glazed panels of which are etched with their lists of the passengers and crew on the flights. Moskow Linn Architects designed the edifice, which visitors access via two winding walkways that recreatethe paths of the two flights. The memorial space, say the architects, typifies the breach between the world before and after 9/11, and generates a sky-focused space( the view upward is fractured by sculptural insertions) for visitorsto reflect and remember the events of that day.

Designer Victor Walker made Boston's memorial to the Massachusetts residents killed on 9/11, located on the edge of the Public Garden in Back Bay. Benches, a small stone plaza, blooms, and trees all surround the curving, low-lying pink granite monument, which lists2 06 names.

Local architect Liuba Lashchyk created Pennsylvanias official 9/11 monument, focused around a spiraling walkway and fountain, both bordered by glass railings inscribed with the names of those lost in the attacks. Its forecourt contains steel remnants from the World Trade Center. Forty-twolights line the walkway, representing the Pennsylvania children who lost parents in the attacks.

This 80 -foot-tall stainless steel sculpture, designed by late designer Frederic Schwartz, comprises thousands offeet ofwelded steel. Its 109 rods representthe 109 Westchester residents originally thought to have perishedon 9/11.( Additional local victims have since been identified and had their names added to the statue .) The titleof the piece comes from a Bruce Springsteen song dedicated to the events of 9/11.

Schwartzalso collaborated withdesigner Jessica Jamroz ¹ to make Empty Sky in Jersey City–twin stainless steel-clad walls, directed toward the World Trade Center site across the river. The imposing surfaces, whose lengths equal those of the sides of the Twin Towers, transect a sloped, grassy knoll and are engraved with the names of New Jerseys 749 victims of the attacks.

Perched on Staten Islands North Shore, Postcards , dedicated to the 275 Staten Islanders who died on September 11, features two fiberglass structures representing folded postcards, presumably being sent to lost loved ones. Rows of granite plaques along the sides of the two pieces list victims names, birth dates, and places of work on the time of the attack. Designed by New York architect Masayuki Sono, it was the first major memorial completed in the New York area.

Designed by local artist Mark Fuller, this tribute features athree-story-tall, bent steel columnfromthe World Trade Centers South Tower, rising above a landscaped garden, a brick walkway, and 8-foot-tall glass panels etched with their lists of 9/11 victims.

Dedicated to Naperville native Dan Shanower, who died in the attack on The Pentagon, this commemoration, perched on the City's Riverwalk, is made from 100 pounds of debris from the Pentagon, granite from the part of Pennsylvania where United 93 crashed, a steel ray from the World Trade Center, and an Eternal Flame. A 48 -foot wall surrounding the memorial contains images of 140 faces, representing 9/11 victims, created by Naperville schoolchildren and molded onto its surface.

This memorial discovered a home in the eastern Washington town of Cashmere after the nation capital, Olympia, rejected it for commemorating a national event, rather than a country one. The bronze statue features a fireman, a flight attendant, an office worker and the states members of the military, holding hands and facing outward. It also incorporates steel from the World Trade Center and stone from the Pentagon.
