9/11 Memorial in Greenville Destroyed
Last Saturday night, vandals violated the tribute, which commemorates the 20 years past the terror attacks in New York. It was not without cost, when 3,000 died on that day, reported the Sun UK.

The vandalism was evident at the bottom of the monument, with one of the structures having the word 'Taliban' done using a spray can.
Paul Nichols, the CEO of the Upstate Granite Solution, spoke to CBS17 that the remembrance is to connect survivors and pay tribute to those who died that day. Especially the firemen and emergency services who died, saving many on that day. He added that they used time and money on the 9/11 monument so that everyone could get together in the spirit of 9/11 and its heroes. The 20th Anniversary 9/11 representation of the Twin Towers shows that the respect for that day's heroes still lingers on.
By Sunday, the traces of the horrible defacing were removed, with the report already filed by the cops.
Kelly, Nichols' wife, spoke to Fox Carolina about the shocking vandalism, saying it hurt and upset her a lot but was not furious with the person who defaced it.

The remembrance gives people a sense of being one, prop up the first responders, support the troop, and show Americans something to hang onto and believe.
