THE KNOXVILLE 9/11 MEMORIAL IN TENNESSEE

This impressive Memorial dedicated to the victims and heroes of 911 sits in the center of the beautiful, green and grassy, Assembly Park located at 400 Main Street, in Knoxville, Tennessee. The designer and builder of this memorial, Randy Vaden, local artist has created not just a memorial but a living remembrance where families and friends and all those who wish to spend some time reflecting may do so to the sound of unearthly, spiritual chimes that are set into the domed ceiling and give the effect of being inside a chapel. These chimes ring with approaching wind leading to an even more unearthly experience. It is perfectly balanced off by the classical design which houses a four sided black granite obelisk etched with the names of all those lost during the horrific attacks of 911. Above you can see Randy and his wife, Tammy, pointing to the names etched into this stone as a permanent remembrance.
