The Tear Drop Memorial, officially named 'To the Struggle Against World Terrorism,' was a gift from Russia to the United States as a gesture of solidarity after the September 11 attacks.
The monument stands at an impressive 100 feet tall, with a 40-foot teardrop suspended in the center.
The memorial was designed by Russian artist Zurab Tsereteli, known for his large-scale sculptures.
The monument was dedicated on September 11, 2006, marking the fifth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.
The memorial is strategically placed in Bayonne, New Jersey, directly across the harbor from where the Twin Towers once stood, offering a poignant view of the New York City skyline.
The teardrop symbolizes the sorrow and grief of the world following the tragic events of September 11, 2001.
The base of the monument features the names of those who perished in the 9/11 attacks and the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.
The monument is located within the Harbor View Park, which offers visitors a peaceful setting to reflect and remember.
The monument is constructed from steel and coated with bronze, giving it a striking and durable appearance.
