A 9/11 Remembrance Ceremony was held next to the Los Angeles Fire Department's 23-ton 9/11 Memorial, a steel column formerly part of the World Trade Center lobby structure. This photo shows Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa and Police Chief William J. Bratton with the red and white stripes of the American flag as their backdrop. Although not seen here, several dignitaries were in attendance as well, including Council members Dennis P. Zine (3rd District), Tom LaBonge (4th District), Eric Garcetti (13th District), and Sheriff Lee Baca, among others. The memorial honors the 343 New York firefighters killed in the attacks. Believed to be the largest remnant of the attacks on the West Coast, the column now rests at the Frank Hotchkin Memorial Training Center, located at 1700 Stadium Way, in Elysian Park. Photo dated: September 11, 2005.
