MEMORIAL WALKWAY &
TOWERS OF THE FALLEN
A part of this event includes a mobile exhibit of our Memorial Walkway, and our new “Towers of the Fallen” monument. The memorial walkway includes newspaper articles and infographics, showcasing the developments of September 11, 2001.The walkway contains approximately 20 stanchions informing all generations of the impact from 9/11. Returning from our 2025 event, we are bringing the Towers of the Fallen Monument. This monument is an imitation of the Twin Towers. The wire frame holds dog tags and accountability tags for all of the Line of Duty Deaths responding to Ground Zero, and all of the Dog Tags of our fallen Veterans who were killed in action from the following wars. The development of the towers will be an ongoing process and we will be continuously adding tags to the monument.
If you have a loved one who lost their life during the september 11 attacks, or in combat from the resulting wars, we would be honored to memorialize them in our Tower’s of the fallen monument which is on display at evry strikes for stripes event. please fill out the link below.
