Repost from Charlotte Fire Department, Charlotte NC and FF Steven Coakley Foundation

+ + +

A powerful tribute is live at Romare Bearden Park in Uptown Charlotte for the 25th anniversary of 9/11.

Two pillars of light rose above the Uptown skyline from dusk until dawn on September 10 and 11, creating a visible symbol of remembrance and reflection that was seen for miles. A steel beam recovered from the World Trade Center is also on display.

The Flags and Lights of Remembrance are presented by the Firefighter Steven Coakley Foundation in memory of those lost on September 11, 2001.
