The Heroes Memorial at Pitt-Johnstown
This memorial pays tribute to those who died on September 11th 2001, as well as the service men and women who have been killed in Afghanistan and Iraq. At the center of the memorial is a 3,500 pound steel I-beam recovered from ground zero from the World Trade Center.
"This memorial serves as a teachable monument, a solemn signpost of ultimate service to country, including by many college-age citizens. It is a remembrance of the heavy burden borne by the fallen, the wounded, and their families and is a sober awakening to the obligations of citizenship, a clarion call to us all to be worthy of their sacrifice."
"As monumental as this memorial to the fallen and the wounded may be, it is not enough, never enough, to simply thank them for their service. Let us honor their service by being Citizens worthy of their sacrifice."
- Jem Spectar, President of Pitt-Johnstown
