The National Veterans Memorial and Museum is proud to host Honor 365’s World Trade Center Exhibit, commemorating the heroes of that unthinkably tragic day.
The exhibit is a replica model of the World Trade Center plaza created by Daan Van Der Steijn from The Netherlands. He recounts the endless sacrifices made on that day, particularly by all of the first responders. Daan’s family has a long line of firefighters, and he too is currently training to become a firefighter in his hometown.
Stay tuned for additional details about this traveling exhibit.
