    Never Forget is a monument to the attacks on the World Trade Center on September 11th, 2001, developed by Shane Allbritton and Norman Lee of RE:site in collaboration with Metalab. On the site of the Cornelius-Lemley Fire Station in Cornelius, NC, the monument was developed in response to the donation of a piece of a steel beam from the World Trade Center that was donated to the city of Cornelius by Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. As the centerpiece of the monument, the piece of steel is suspended between two monolithic limestone forms inscribed with the words "Never Forget" in several different languages. To further reinforce the memory of the World Trade Center, the monument is oriented to New York City, and this line of orientation is articulated in the paving of the plaza around the monument.
