9/11 Tribute in East Meadow Park

At night, I went to East Meadow to view the 9/11 tribute that was recently created, in honor of the people who died on 9/11. The memorial is huge, with bright aluminum towers on top of a fountain, to represent the World Trade Center. The memorial also had the two pieces of steel from the wreckage of 9/11. The two pieces of steel had the names of all the victims from Long Island. The families of the victims wept, as many loved ones threw flowers into the fountain. It was a very emotional experience. Looking firsthand at the amount of people who came out to offer their condolences was simply a mind-blowing experience. Many people gathered together and sang “God Bless America” and spoke on behalf of their lost family members. It was definitely a heart-warming experience.
