America's Response Monument, Bronze memorial statue in Liberty Park, New York, United States.
The monument depicts a Special Forces soldier mounted on a horse, standing sixteen feet tall and weighing five thousand pounds.
Created by sculptor Douwe Blumberg, the statue commemorates the Special Forces soldiers who fought in Afghanistan following the September 11 attacks.
The statue incorporates steel from the World Trade Center and features details of traditional Afghan horse equipment used during military operations.
Visitors can view the monument at Liberty Park, which provides an elevated perspective of the National September 11 Memorial and Museum.
Each Green Beret team carried pieces of World Trade Center steel during their missions, with some fragments now buried beneath Afghan soil.
