The city of Palm Beach Gardens is suitably named, as it is comprised of 30 percent flourishing greenery. Located seven miles north of West Palm Beach, Palm Beach Gardens is known for its excellent shopping, dining, and entertainment opportunities at the Gardens Mall, Downtown at the Gardens, and Legacy Place. Boating and fishing are plentiful, as are beautiful luxurious waterfront homes, some even sitting directly on the waters of the Atlantic Ocean, if not the Intracoastal Waterway.

Always remember this day in history, where you were, what you did, and who you were with.  The September 11 terrorist attacks of the four hijacked planes resulted in widespread loss and destruction.

Today, the nation honors the victims’ families and others by gathering at Ground Zero, the Pentagon, and Shanksville, PA., by remembering that fateful day 11 years ago.  There will be a moment of silence for each time a hijacked plane hit its target and one for when for when the flight crashed into the field in Shanksville.

Locally, the Fire Chief’s Association of Palm Beach County will hold a 9/11 remembrance ceremony at the Christ Fellowship auditorium.  Attendees are invited to visit the 9/11 Memorial at the Palm Beach Gardens Fire Station 3 at 5161…

After many years in the making, a 36-foot tall piece of the World Trade Center has been erected as a memorial, in Palm Beach Gardens this past Saturday. The column serves as a memory of the tragic day our nation was attacked on September 11, 2001. The monument is a 36-foot, 12-ton piece of twisted steel that was a column from the 110 story, World Trade Center. Intense heat and flames warped the metal when the plane hit the building.

Today, the monument can be enjoyed and stand as a symbol of our strength and recovery. Eight-foot tall glass panels will encase the metal monument. Etched into the glass are 3,000 names of victims whose lives were claimed by the tragic day. Many of the names are those of the brave…
