Pieces of steel from the Twin Towers have been erected at Conor Park on McLean Avenue in Yonkers and will be dedicated Sept. 11 as a memorial to the victims of the 9/11 attacks.

Brien writes: "I just got off the bus after work and saw they were putting up plaques for every Yonkers victim behind the WTC beams. It's an honor to live in this neighborhood and I've lived in it my whole life."
