Postcards, Memorial sculpture in St. George, Staten Island, US
The Postcards Memorial features two white marble wings rising 30 feet high along the St. George Esplanade near New York Harbor.
The memorial opened in 2004 to honor 274 Staten Island residents who died in the September 11 attacks and 1993 World Trade Center bombing.
Each victim receives recognition through a granite plaque displaying their name, birth date, workplace, and silhouette profile facing toward Ground Zero.
Visitors can access the memorial through a walkway near Richmond County Bank Ballpark, with parking available at the New York Wheel garage.
The central corridor between the marble walls creates a direct sightline to where the Twin Towers stood, connecting viewers to Lower Manhattan.
