Denver first responders dedicated a new 9/11 memorial Friday at Denver International Airport (DIA).
The memorial is at Fire Station 35, at 25365 E. 75th Ave., on DIA property, and is created with steel from the World Trade Center. The steel was donated by the nonprofit organization Counterterrorism Education Learning Lab, according to a news release.
On the day before the 20th anniversary of the attacks, DIA, the Denver Fire Department, the Denver Police Department and the Denver Department of Public Safety dedicated the memorial.
“The efforts of the 412 emergency service workers who died that day will never be forgotten, and this monument stands as a testament to their sacrifice,” said Denver Fire Chief Desmond Fulton.
