In the endless horizon line of wheat fields that make up the United States heartland, there sits a serene little piece of America and it's called Anthony, Kansas - population 2,440.
When people in this part of America want to see and feel the real-life effects of 9/11, they don’t have to go to New York or Washington, DC, they can simply come to Anthony.
The town of Anthony could be home to the most impressive memorials to September 11, 2001 anywhere in rural America.
The memorial includes three steel beams from the World Trade Center welded together in a triangular form rising from a central circle. It also includes a 250 pound block of limestone from the Pentagon, as well as soil and ashes from the area of the Pennsylvania crash site.
