I had never heard of this before receiving it. 
Why didn't the press report it?

This is the "TEAR DROP"  made and
Installed by the Russians to honor those
Who died in 9 11 and a statement against
Terrorism.  It is very impressive.  
The tear drop is lined up with the Statue
Of Liberty .

....it is an impressive memorial and
Statement against terrorism.

Names of the persons killed on 9 11 are inscribed on the base.  The base like the Vietnam Memorial wall.  It was a cold and
Windy day but well worth the drive to see.  It is down in the
Shipping yards across from "The Lady".
