Five years ago the country heard a sentence, “we got him”. All of America knew “him” was Osama bin Laden. The men of our Army’s 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment flew SEALs from Team Six to his compound and ended the face of 9-11. America was also building a new symbol. Beginning construction in April of 2006 with completion and opening of the tower’s top level observatory for public on May 28th of 2015, we built the One World Trade Center. At a height of 1,776 feet, it is the tallest skyscraper in the Western Hemisphere. There’s a reason for this height. Our Declaration of Independence was signed on July 4th, 1776. Yet this is not the number to remember. Two thousand nine hundred and seventy-seven men and women lost their lives on that day.
This is a building for them, this is “Freedom Tower”.
