9/11 Memorial
The 9/11 Memorial, located beside the Michigan Fallen Heroes Memorial on Oakland County’s campus, was unveiled and dedicated on September 11, 2015 — commemorating a date forever etched into the soul of our nation.
Within its three solemn structures are artifacts from the three sites of the terrorist attacks: the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and the crash site in Shanksville, Pennsylvania. Each piece bears silent witness to the day when thousands of innocent lives were lost and the course of history was forever changed.
This is not just a place to see history — it is a place to feel it. Visitors are invited to walk among the memorials, reflect in quiet remembrance, and honor the courage of first responders, service members, and everyday heroes who rose in humanity’s darkest hour. The memorial grounds offer a powerful and peaceful space for families, students, veterans, and visitors of all ages to learn, remember, and pay their respects.
By coming here, you become part of the promise:
Those we lost on September 11, and those who answered the call in its aftermath, will never be forgotten.
