Allen County 9/11 Memorial Foundation Fund
In the timeline of history, there are few dates with more meaning to Americans than September 11, 2001. That was the day that terrorists killed 2,977 innocent people at the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center, at the Pentagon, and in Shanksville, Pennsylvania. As time marches forward, the events and consequences of that day cannot be allowed to fade into obscurity. This is a task that we will address with a new and significant educational project and monument to heroes, heroism, and patriotism. In addition to the imposing structure itself, we will work with school systems to keep the facts of 9/11 for students of today who were not even born in 2001. The Fund aims to provide educational programming related to the events of September 11, 2001; to provide community outreach related to the Memorial and its education programming; the construction and maintenance of a permanent memorial located at 2526 Fort Amanda Road, Lima.
