NEW YORK CITY (WABC) — A steel beam salvaged from the ruins of the World Trade Center in the wake of the September 11, 2001 terror attacks will be taken across the U.S. to commemorate the lives of fallen heroes, the Tunnels to Towers Foundation said.<\/p>\n
The Steel Across America tour<\/a> aims “to unite communities in remembrance, reflection, and resolve – reaffirming the promise America made to Never Forget.”<\/p>\n “This steel beam represents the best of who we are as a country,” said Frank Siller, Tunnel to Towers Foundation Chairman and CEO. “As it travels from coast to coast, we hope this symbol brings communities together to remember the heroes we lost, honor the people still suffering from 9\/11-related illnesses, support the families forever changed, and pay tribute to those who continue to protect and serve.” Traveling over 10,500 miles, the steel will make more than 35 stops in 21 states and Washington, D.C., visiting landmark locations, community gathering places, town squares, and major sporting events nationwide before culminating in its return to Ground Zero on September 11th on the 25th anniversary of 9\/11.<\/p>\n Public Steel Across America tour stops include:<\/p>\n Lower Manhattan, New York City ———-<\/p>\n * Get Eyewitness News Delivered<\/a> <\/p>\n * More New York City news<\/a><\/p>\n * Send us a news tip<\/a><\/p>\n * Download the abc7NY app for breaking news alerts<\/a> <\/p>\n * Download our connected TV app<\/a> <\/p>\n
