Rescue 343-2 9/11 Memorial is a local nonprofit dedicated to remembering the fallen heroes of our country, educating others about the significance of their sacrifice and honoring veterans and first responders.

Founded in East Canton nearly 20 years ago, the all-volunteer organization travels to schools, parades, festivals and other community events across Northeast Ohio with a larger-than-life memorial display assembled on a flatbed trailer. The 9/11 Memorial has quadrupled in size over the past 20 years and features dozens of flags, boots, memorabilia and gear worn by veterans and first responders, along with other items.
