Bilirakis to Attend Palm Harbor 9/11 Memorial Groundbreaking

March 29, 2012

At the ceremony, Bilirakis will speak and present a flag that was flown over the U.S. Capitol.

"This memorial is about remembering those who died and sacrificed their lives in a courageous attempt to save others," Bilirakis said. "We will never forget their bravery and dedication to our country."

The Palm Harbor Fire Department received a piece of a steel beam from the World Trade Center over one year ago, and the memorial design will consist of two 10-foot-tall granite towers, the beam, and an eternal flame.
