Ed Hogle, a U.S. Army Reserve veteran and co-founder of Steel Crazy Iron Art in Buffalo, NY, created the 911 Standing Tall Memorial to honor the lives lost on September 11, 2001.

 

Standing 8 feet tall and mounted on a map of the United States, the memorial is crafted from stainless steel and engraved with the full names of every 9/11 victim. It also features the five U.S. military service emblems, symbolizing national unity and sacrifice.

 

Since its creation, the memorial has traveled to Ground Zero, the Pentagon, and Shanksville, PA, often accompanied by Patriot Guard Riders and law enforcement. Ed personally tows the sculpture across the country with his pickup truck to keep the memory of 9/11 alive.

 

Now, through the 9/11 Puzzle Project, Ed and his team are turning the powerful tribute into a national puzzle collection. With 20 percent of all sales donated to the Tunnel to Towers Foundation and local firefighter and EMS organizations, each puzzle supports the families of fallen heroes.
