9/11 Memorial Beam at Lejeune Memorial Garden in Jacksonville, NC. This World Trade Center beam was the first one out of New York City and the only one delivered to a Marine Base on the back of a New York City fire engine. From the leather helmets of the fire service to the Leathernecks of the Marine Corps, it reflects the appreciation of the fire service for the Marines being the first into Afghanistan after September 11, 2001.
We hope you are enjoying this Labor Day weekend with some relaxation and time spent with friends and family. #OnlyinOnslow #OnslowOutdoors
