SALEM, Ore. — On Wednesday, Sept. 11, the Oregon Department of Public Safety Standards and Training (DPSST) invites the public to visit the 9/11 Memorial at the Oregon Public Safety Academy in Salem.
The academy hosts a permanent display of artifacts from the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks that claimed the lives of nearly 3,000 people, including more than 400 firefighters and law enforcement officers. In addition to the lives lost in the immediate aftermath of the attacks, hundreds of first responders have died due to illnesses contracted while engaged in rescue and recovery efforts at Ground Zero.
Guests are welcome to view the memorial to honor the victims and all whose lives were impacted by the attacks, including the firefighters, police officers and rescue workers whose heroism prevented further loss of life. The gates of the academy, located at 4190 Aumsville Hwy. SE in Salem, will be open from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. for drop-in viewing. The memorial is located in the lobby of the Academy; guests should follow the signs for the main entrance.
Artifacts displayed at the 9/11 Memorial include:
- A floor beam from either 5 or 6 World Trade Center, both of which sustained heavy damage in the September 11 attacks as the towers fell.
- A section from the base of 1 World Trade Center, also known as the North Tower.
- A strap used to support mechanical systems in the towers
- A smaller floor beam from above the 50th floor of one of the Twin Towers
- A piece of aluminum used in the outer “skin” of one of the towers
- A piece of limestone fascia from the outer wall of the Pentagon, taken from near where the aircraft impacted the building
The artifacts are accompanied by a video tribute to the first responders and victims, and a painting by artist Ricardo Salazar, “Memoriam,” which depicts the attacks on the World Trade Center.
“As we approach the anniversary of September 11, we invite the public to join us in honoring the sacrifices of the first responders who selflessly served that day and those who have since lost their lives due to related health complications. This memorial is a chance for Oregonians to come together, remember their bravery, and ensure their legacy is never forgotten,” said DPSST Director Phil Castle.
In addition to the 9/11 Memorial, the Oregon Public Safety Academy campus is home to memorials honoring the state’s fallen first responders. The Oregon Law Enforcement Memorial honors 196 officers who have died in the line of duty since the 1860’s, and the Oregon Fallen Fire Fighters Memorial honors 179 fire service personnel who have died in the line of duty since 1881. Memorial ceremonies are held annually to honor the officers and firefighters killed in the line of duty.
