In 2013, the Tunnel to Towers Foundation launched its 9/11 NEVER FORGET Mobile Exhibit. It serves as a tribute to those lost on September 11, 2001, including the 343 New York City firefighters who made the ultimate sacrifice saving and protecting others in the line of duty. This high-tech, 80-foot tractor-trailer transforms into a 1,100 sq. ft. exhibit and helps educate communities around the country about the events of that tragic day. The exhibit includes steel from the Twin Towers, artifacts from Ground Zero, documentary videos, recordings of first responder radio transmissions and interactive guided tours from New York City firefighter heroes. It also provides a powerful reminder of the courage and sacrifices made by all first responders who serve their communities.
