New York, NY, August 31, 2026 —
A new memorial dedicated to the lives of Port Authority employees lost in the terrorist attacks of 1993 and September 11, 2001, has been established in Liberty Park, New York. The “Port Authority Employee Memorial” serves as a tribute to the workers who died during these tragic events and acknowledges the sacrifices of those who became ill or passed away as a result of their involvement in the post-9/11 rescue and recovery efforts.
The memorial is situated in Liberty Park, adjacent to the St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church and National Shrine. Its design includes a stainless steel representation of the iconic Twin Towers, a symbol deeply connected to the events it commemorates. The names of the fallen Port Authority employees are inscribed on a granite base that supports the towers, providing a lasting record of their lives and service.
The unveiling of the Port Authority Employee Memorial marks a significant addition to the remembrance sites in the area, offering a dedicated space to honor the specific contributions and losses experienced by Port Authority personnel. The memorial’s presence in Liberty Park further enriches the park’s capacity as a place of reflection and remembrance for victims of terrorism and their families.
