To mark the 10th anniversary of the September 11th attack, Cherry Hill Township and the Cherry Hill Fire Department are erecting a special memorial.

The monument will include a section of steel from the World Trade Center. This section of I-Beam from the WTC’s North Tower will serve as a bridge between two granite towers. This steel will forever symbolize the strength of the United States of America, and will serve as a fitting centerpiece of this memorial to honor those whose lives were lost that September day.
