The Tear-Drop Memorial: By Russian artist Zurab Tsereteli This impressive memorial to the events that transpired on Sept. 11, 2001 is located on the Bayonne, NJ waterfront. I visited this place, and was overwhelmed while viewing this dramatic sculpture. I was un-aware of it until just last year, and I cannot understand why? As I looked back at it’s history, ground-breaking & opening ceremonies were held, attended by former President Bill Clinton, Russian President Vladimir Putin & the artist Tsereteli himself. Despite it’s size and stature, this monument remains a lesser-known tribute to 9-11.
