Saw this memorial while walking the Strip in Las Vegas. The memorial is a large granite structure by the Statue of Liberty, and contains t-shirts (with notes, fire station insignias, police station insignias, etc.) and other items of a personal nature. Each of the items on display sits in a shadow box. Very moving tribute to those that lost their lives.
The memorial contains various quotes from world leaders.
