9/11 Memorial

In 2011, on the ten year anniversary of the September 11th attacks, the City of Havelock unveiled a piece of the World Trade Center that will serve as the centerpiece of our 9/11 Memorial. Located next to the Harrier Monument that stands in front of the Havelock Police Department building, this piece of history will serve as a constant reminder of the untold sacrifices made that day, and the unbreakable will of the American Spirit.

Below is a brief timeline of the events that brought the piece to Havelock, along with several photographs. We will be updating this page as work continues to complete the memorial.
