I never knew that this even existed. j
   

Completed in 2009 for $2 million, it sits on 5 acres of hillside, 20 miles from the center of Jerusalem.

The memorial is a 30-foot, bronze American flag.

That forms the shape of a flame to commemorate the flames of the Twin Towers.

The base of the monument is made of melted steel from the wreckage of the World Trade Center.

And includes this engraving in Hebrew and English.

This metal remnant was taken from the remains of the Twin Towers, that imploded on September 11th disaster. It was sent over to Israel by the City of New York to be incorporated in this memorial. This metal piece, like the entire monument, is a manifestation of the special relationship between New York and Jerusalem.

Surrounding the monument are plaques with the names of the victims of 9/11.

It is the only memorial outside the U.S. that includes the names of all who perished in the terrorist attacks.

The site solemnly overlooks Jerusalem’s largest cemetery, Har HaMenuchot.

The monument is often used for memorial and commemoration services.

 A powerful memorial from a powerful ally.

There’s something about the elegant way Naval Pilots express themselves, perhaps they learn this at the Academy?

This is from Ace Jewell, CDR, USN, Ret, now about 88 years old, fighter pilot in 3 wars and LSO extraordinaire. They don't make them like Ace anymore...

"Drones will not: be late to briefings, start fights at happy hour, destroy clubs, attempt to seduce others' dates, purchase huge watches, insult other services, sing "O'Leary's Balls," dance on tables, yell "Show us yerr tits!!!", or do all of the other things that we know win wars! I see no future in them.”
