National September 11 Memorial & Museum Begins National Tour of Tribute Exhibition to Raise Awareness and Support
The National September 11 Memorial & Museum will today launch its national tour with the opening of a tribute exhibition in Columbia, South Carolina. The tour, which honors the nearly 3,000 men and women who lost their lives on September 11, is intended to
raise funds and awareness in support of building the National Memorial & Museum at Ground Zero.

In a ceremony at Columbia's Finlay Park later this morning, first responders and family members who lost loved ones on 9/11will be among the first to sign a steel beam that will be used in the construction of the Memorial & Museum.

The exhibition tells the story of September 11th through photographs, artifacts and a short film from the point of view of families, responders, survivors, volunteers and everyday people who came together in the aftermath of the attacks. People from across the country are invited to come together again to pay tribute to the victims and to sign a steel beam that will be used in the construction of the Memorial & Museum.
