It was a special welcoming ceremony Monday at Schriever Air Force Base for the arrival of a beam (C-28) from the fallen World Trade Center that will be used for a local 9-11 memorial.
Airmen and civilians could be seen lining the street, holding a salute as the large piece of metal was driven on to the base. The beam, which collapsed during the events of September 11, 2001, had been saved as part of the investigation until now.
The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey donated the beam to Schriever. It will become part of a
future memorial on base to commemorate the events of Sept. 11, 2001.
