The monument that I chose was The Memorial of the Events of 9/11. This memorial is for all those who died on the September 11th attack in the World Trade Center. This memorial is made up of small shrines in public areas like Grand Central Terminal, 42nd Street subway stop, and other popular travel areas. The monument is made up of pictures of those who were lost in the attack. The monuments are covered in flags, flowers, or any other personal collection to honor those who were killed or who went missing. Those who pass by honor the shrine with moments of silence for those who were lost. Also the monument draws crowds of people from their usual routine to pay respect and reflect on those who died.
