to lift a nationThe 40-foot-tall bronze monument "To Lift a Nation" was created by sculptor Stan Watts to honor the heroes of September 11, 2001. It recreates the now-famous photo taken by Thomas E. Franklin, a photographer for the Bergen Record, who captured the image of three firefighters raising the American flag at Ground Zero.
The three-times life monument stands 40 feet high, six feet deep and eight feet wide. Each of the three firefighter's statues weigh more than 5,000 pounds and were formed from approximately 160 bronze sections weighing between 60-to-80 pounds each.
