Rochester Places Piece From 9/11 Twin Towers At Heroes Point

ROCHESTER, MI — A piece from the Twin Towers (South Tower) that were destroyed on 9/11 was permanently installed as a part of Heroes Point at the Rochester Fire Department.

"We are very proud that the Twin Tower Steel is finally in its place of honor in Heroes Point," Rochester Fire Chief John Cieslik said. "The steel is mounted to granite that was purchased by The Elliott Family as a part of their ongoing commitment to bringing the Heroes’ Point Project to fruition."

The Rochester Fire Department is hosting the Dedication of the Twin Towers Steel Installation on Monday, Sept. 11 at 5 pm at the Rochester Fire Station, located at 277 E. Second Street in Downtown Rochester.

Heroes Point celebrates the men and women, who as firefighters, police officers, members of the armed services and ordinary citizens placed themselves in harms way in order to rescue, protect and defend others.
