VIDEO: The twin towers monument at Green Bay’s 9/11 memorial may need to wait for some much needed repairs. Wednesday the city Parks Committee decided to refer a proposal to allocate money to fix the monument to the Public Arts Commission. The committee wants to make sure someone from the police or fire department is at the meeting to give their thoughts. Firefighters say the monument is more than just an addition to the Green Bay skyline. A place like the 9/11 memorial near the Neville Public Museum gives firefighters and the general public a place to remember the lives lost and sacrifices made nearly 15-and-a-half years ago. “That day hit all of us,” Green Bay Area Firefighters union president Chad Bronkhorst said. The monument was built in 2005 with incorrect flight numbers. The wrong type of marble was used and is now cracking. Many of the victims’ names have become difficult to read.
