This Memorial Day, the city of Hayward is planning to dedicate the Hayward 9/11 memorial.
The granite and brick site is devoted to commemorating the events of the day, as well as honoring local first responders and service men and women who have lost their lives in the line of duty.
The memorial itself features a square brick pillar in the center with an American flag. The sides list the names of local first responders and service people, while the front offers an explanation of the memorial. Four black granite monoliths surround the pillar, each featuring one of the sites of the 9/11 attacks: two towers, the pentagon, and flight 93. Four red granite complete the memorial, each featuring the Logo Design and name of an organization that supports veterans and families.
The memorial first started coming together in 2014 and has been built entirely through charitable donations by locals and organizations. The edifices of granite that make up the memorial cost thousands of dollars each. Five granite benches, valued at $5,000 each, surround the area. The nonprofit group putting everything together raised the money by listing names of its major donors in various places in the memorial and on the website.
The Hayward 9/11 Memorial Dedication will take place on May 30, at 1:00 pm at 22738 Mission Blvd. Anyone interested in attending should visit the website for more info.
