Memorial Tower at Freedom Park

Memorial Tower at Freedom Park

The Memorial Tower is a 52-foot tall structure with a massive stainless steel star adorning the top. David Baker created that crowning piece. Artifacts from all three of the 9/11 crash sites, as well as other items of importance such as a Bible, Purple Heart medal, Fort Bend County flag, and others, are in the pentagon-shaped base of the tower.

Some beautiful mosaic murals are depicting the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, and Coast Guard, which border both sides of a sidewalk near the memorial tower.
