This Memorial is dedicated to all South Carolina First Responders that willingly risk their lives to protect and serve their fellow citizens. It honors the first responders and soldiers who lost their lives as a result of the attack on the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. The memorial features two 25ft. granite towers and a pair of beams from the World Trade Center wreckage. The names of the 47 first responders from our area who have died, as well as those South Carolinians killed in Iraq and Afghanistan, are enscribed on the monument.

A memorial to all SC Midlands firefighters, law enforcement, ems, and branches of the military who have lost their lives in the line of duty since 9/11/01. The memorial is constructed of two granite towers as well as two beams from tower the World Trade Center, remembering September 11, 2001. The memorial is a partnership with the City of New York and the Midlands. The memorial was dedicated on 9/11/2011 to the heroes that have given everything for their country and community.

The two towers symbolize “Resolve.” The two fallen pieces of the towers are “So we never forget the fallen.” The crossed beams from the WTC serve to remind all Americans “We are a united Nation of One.”
