VISIT MY ETSY STORE, SEE WHAT I HAVE FOR SALE: https://www.etsy.com/shop/LakeShoreEmberlites In April 2009, Bud Marsh of Hermansville, MI started his mission to get pieces of the WTC for the only 9/11 Memorial in Upper Michigan. Today (9/11/12) they were escorted to their new resting place in Hermansville, Michigan. Bud Marsh is a 24 year veteran of the Fire Dept and also a 14 year veteran of EMS too, he got this idea while reading about the Twin Towers in a magazine called "JEMS" that talked about getting pieces of the WTC. He decided this is what he wanted to do. He told me it took 3 years for this to happen, it wasn't an easy task. The township donated the property and gave him the full approval to do it. He had to get a 501 c3 status just to be eligible to get these pieces of the towers. He said it has been a long fight and he was glad to finally have these pieces here in Hermansville, MI to display. This is the ONLY 9/11 Memorial in Upper Michigan. The actual building hasn't been built as of yet. They are hoping donations and fundraising will make an impact this year.
