"As a tribute to people's collective ability to respond to trauma, the City of Manhattan Beach desires that the Memorial provide residents and visitors a community sanctuary where they can review the events of September 11, 2001, supporting the concept that people learn and are healed by reflecting on the past while looking toward the future"
