Constructed 2011.
The Soldiers’ Memorial Park was constructed to remember the firefighters and police officers that were killed during the initial response, and the fallen warriors who made the ultimate sacrifice post 9/11. The park contains a “Freedom Wall” with the names of fallen soldiers from New Mexico – or ties to our state – as a reminder that our freedom is not free. The park also includes an eight-foot marble replica of the twin towers, a steel beam from the World Trade Center, a steel eagle sculpture with an eight-foot wingspan, a first responder’s shovel used at the Pentagon and a 10,000 pound piece of limestone recovered from the rubble of the Pentagon with a plaque dedicated to the many lives that were taken from us on 9/11/01.
