9/11 Teardrop Memorial

The 9/11 Teardrop Memorial - It was a gift to America from the country of Russia and is dedicated "To the Struggle ... Against World Terrorism.". Around the base of The Teardrop are the names of all those who died on 9/11 – including 26 Russians. Vladimir Putin was there when construction began. Since then, it has been largely forgotten. The monument displayed in this photograph, officially entitled "To the Struggle Against World Terrorism" (but also known as "The Memorial at Harbor View Park" or the "Tear Drop Memorial"), was dedicated at the northeast corner of Bayonne Peninsula in New Jersey on 11 September 2006, the fifth anniversary of the 9/11...The monument is the work of Russian artist Zurab Tsereteli
