A Steel Beam, A Legacy of Courage | Lincoln News

A steel beam from the North Tower of the World Trade Center stands proudly at Bennington Fire Station in Nebraska, over 1,200 miles from Ground Zero, as a solemn tribute to the 9/11 heroes. Acquired through a post-9/11 lottery, it’s honored annually during a moving ceremony where families pay respects with flowers and flags. Chief Dan Mallory reflects on the 343 firefighters who perished—and the countless others still battling long-term illness—celebrating their unshakable commitment to service. The beam isn’t just a relic; it’s a living symbol of courage, reminding all, especially youth, that first responders answer the call without hesitation, no matter the cost.
