USS Intrepid #WeRemember #NeverForget - New York Harbor and September 11

Intrepid Museum Commemorates 9-11 and visits the USS New York #NeverForget

The USS Intrepid Museum held a private ceremony to observe the anniversary in front of the Museum’s 9/11 Memorial at the southwest end of Pier 86, which consists of pieces of steel recovered from the World Trade Center. 

Measuring 12-feet tall and weighing 3,000 pounds, the two parallel I-beams point skyward, a near replica of how the Towers once stood in Lower Manhattan.

Museum President Susan Marenoff-Zausner and Co-Chair Bruce Mosler were joined by Museum employees and representatives from the USS New York and Navy Region Mid-Atlantic. 

A wreath was laid in the Hudson River in memory of the 2,977 innocent men, women and children who died on September 11, 2001, the thousands of first responders who lost their lives due to 9/11 related causes, and for those who have fought for our nation in the twenty years since.
