This week's "Turnback Tuesday" remembers the solemn day of 9-11-2001.
[We remember] not only the loss of so many people, but the brave men and women who responded to the aid of their fellow countrymen. 
This picture is of the Derby, CT 9-11 Memorial located on the Derby Green. 
The memorial, dedicated on November 16, 2014, has two granite towers to represent the Twin Towers and an actual centerpiece of steel from one of the fallen towers. 
The monument was planned and funds raised by the Derby Fire Department volunteers.
