The "Fallen Hero" Memorial, created by ART Design Group at the request of the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Department, stands as a poignant tribute to the heroic responders of 9/11. Located at the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Department in Ybor City, Tampa, Florida, this memorial serves as a solemn reminder of the strength, survival, and resilience displayed during that tragic day.
Central to the memorial's design is an iconic original I-beam from the Twin Towers, symbolizing the indomitable spirit and unity of the responders. As visitors approach, they can feel the solemn unity and dedication that brought these brave individuals together, tirelessly working to save lives amidst chaos.
