9/11 Memorials in Inwood

September 11th, 2001 affected so many people, in New York and around the world.

Here in Inwood I have found a few memorials erected in memory of those lost from the community on that day.
Next to the Church of the Good Shepherd on Isham and Broadway there is a small memorial garden and some beams from the site of the World trade center along with a circle of markers with the names and photographs of the men and women who lost their lives that day who were Inwood residents. Also- that side of Isham has been renamed "Inwood's Heroes of 9/11 Way".

There is also Bruce's Garden on Park Terrace East and 215th.
The garden is in memory of Bruce Reynolds- a port authority police officer who rushed back into the towers sacrificing his life to try and help those who were still inside.
If you know of any other memorials in the area to Inwood residents and would like to share them with the community please feel free to comment and tell us where they are.
