The Teardrop Monument was made and installed by the Russians to honor those who died in 9/11 and to make a statement against terrorism. It is very impressive. The tear drop is lined up with the Statue of Liberty. It was a gift from the people of Russia. The plaque identifying it says "Monument to the struggle against world terrorism, artist Zurab Tesereteii." Names of the persons killed on 9 11 are inscribed on the base.
This monument was dedicated at the northeast corner of Bayonne Peninsula in New Jersey on 11 September 2006, the fifth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks on the United States. Did anyone hear anything about this? Did the media ever report on it? Not that I saw, or anyone I've talked to either.
Enjoy the photos!
