Statement of Purpose: The memorial will consist of two replica twin tower models that are scaled down and constructed of solid concrete; this is to represent how America sticks together. Through it, a model plane fashioned from pure white marble will represent the tragic impact. The marble plane will have a small cockpit where a lifelike model of Bin Laden will sit (2 and 4). This represents the head of terror that America fears. The cockpit will be lit at night for easy viewing of Bin Laden and a soldier will guard the memorial against probable vandalism. Bronze statues of brave soldiers will surround the cockpit, their guns aimed at Bin Laden. This represents America's struggle against terror. One soldier remains sitting on the ground (7), arms crossed. This represents the part of America that is against the war. Spectators walk through the Pathway to Freedom (5) and hear passengers scream from the plane above via motion activated speaker system (1). This allows spectators to reminisce over the terror that happened that day. A loud bell will also randomly ring from the same speaker system which will represent that awe inspiring phrase, "Let freedom ring." |
