A memorial comprised of 403 posts surrounding a 10-foot, 1,500 pound steel I-beam that was once part of the World Trade Center towers stands in the City of San Luis Obispo. The beam, now a reminder and part of a beautiful memorial called “Standing Tall,” honors those who were killed or suffered on 9/11. The posts commemorate and pay tribute to the 403 emergency responders who gave their lives on September 11, 2001. The 343 red steel posts represent firefighters and the 60 blue anodized aluminum posts represent police officers. The words, honor, hope, strength and integrity are inscribed along the walls of the memorial located in front of the San Luis Obispo fire station on Santa Barbara Street. Never Forget.
