Union County has erected a memorial to the sixty county residents killed in the September 11th attack. The memorial is located near the Springfield Avenue entrance to Echo Lake Park on the border of Westfield and Mountainside. The memorial consists of two steel girders from the World Trade Center. The girders arise out of a five sided design meant to recall those that perished at the Pentagon. A torch of liberty representing an eternal flame honors the passengers on Flight 93 and the emergency first responders that were also lost that day. The names of the sixty men and women from Union County who died on 9/11 are engraved on a stainless steel plaque embedded in a block of granite. New Jersey lost 628 residents on 9/11.
