Massive World Trade Center steel beam arrives at West Point, uniting 9/11 heroes with generation sent to war

A 21-foot steel beam recovered from the South Tower of the World Trade Center arrived at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point Tuesday, bringing a physical piece of the Sept. 11 attacks to the institution that trained generations of Army officers who would go on to serve in the wars that followed. The 16,900-pound beam was brought to West Point as part of the Tunnel to Towers Foundation’s Steel Across America tour, a nationwide commemoration marking the 25th anniversary of the attacks. Tuesday
