This year marks the fifth anniversary of the September 11th terrorist attacks. The traveling United in Memory 9/11 Victims Memorial Quilt seeks to immortalize the memory of those who died that day.
The 16,000-square-foot quilt, a global undertaking of more than 3,000 volunteers in 18 countries, is dedicated to the victims of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. The traveling exhibit consists of 142 individual 10.5-foot square panels, each containing 25 blocks (for a total of 3,550 blocks). Each and every victim of the attacks on the World Trade Center Towers I and II, the Pentagon, and the passengers and crew of American Airlines Flights 11 and 77 and United Airlines Flights 93 and 175 have been memorialized.
