Russians Dedicate Beautiful Memorial To Victims of 9/11

This Memorial is more heartfelt and beautiful than anything the American government has done in memory of those murdered by Islamic Jihadists on 9/11.

And, the Russians gave it to us as a gift. Putin was there for the dedication. And, no one seems to know about it:

You would think that people would flock to a 10-story bronze monument to 9-11 sitting in the shadow of the Statue of Liberty and looking directly into the line of sight where the World Trade Center once stood.

And the Tear Drop Memorial is a beauty ... a 100-foot-high chiseled monolith cuts a jagged frame around a giant hanging gold-mirrored tear drop.
Staten Island Advance/Irving SilversteinFormer President Bill Clinton and Russia's Vladimir Putin were on hand for the dedication of "Tear of Grief" in Bayonne on Sept. 11, 2006.
A matching plaque also designates the monument as a gift from Russia with a photo of the city and a sketched outline of the Twin Towers to show where they were located when you look up into the distant skyline that still looks empty.

But as I roam alone among more than 3,000 names of 9-11 victims etched in silver into its 11-sided charcoal-black granite base, I wonder why Bayonne’s Tear Drop Memorial — aka the Tear of Grief and To the Struggle Against World Terrorism — is such a big secret.

Why should a $12 million 9-11 landmark created by renowned Russian artist Zurab Tsereteli and dedicated on-site by both Russian President Vladimir Putin and former President Bill Clinton hide in plain sight with all the secrecy of a CIA operation?

“I have no idea,” says Jerry Kelly, co-chair of the memorial’s Paver Committee, a group that sells the personally-inscribed bricks found in the tiled pathway around Harbor View Park.

“Putin was here for the dedication. Clinton was here,” Kelly says. “With the cruise ship docking there, people are seeing it.”

Few, however, have spread the word since it was dedicated on Sept. 11, 2006.

Here's a video about the Monument (with thanks to Total):
