WTC Memorial.

911 World Trade Center Memorial

Field review by the editors.

Green Bay, Wisconsin

Two blindingly bright 30-ft tall stainless steel towers, perhaps exaggerated in narrowness, stand along the Fox River, next to the Nitschke Bridge at the Neville Public Museum. The prime spot had been taken up by the popular Green Bay Packer Receiver statue until the WTC 9/11 Memorial arrived (then the Receiver was sent packing up the road...).

The WTC 9/11 Memorial was dedicated on June 1, 2005. Names of victims are engraved on the base and a chunk of an actual WTC girder is mounted on the front. The main inscription reads: "In Loving Memory to the Known and the Unknown, the Found and the Unfound."

Literal WTC tower replicas as 9/11 memorials are somewhat rare (most towns opting for somber, artistic abstractions).
