Empty Sky Memorial : Empty Sky is the official New Jersey memorial to recognize and honor the 746 New Jersey lives lost on the September 11 attacks on the United States. It is located in Liberty State Park in Jersey City directly across from the World Trade Center site. Designed by Jessica Jamroz and Frederic Schwartz, it was dedicated on Saturday, September 10, 2011, a day before the tenth anniversary of the attacks. The memorial consists of twin walls, open to the sky, that visitors walk between to view the names of the victims etched into the walls. Two 30-foot-high rectangular towers stretch 208 feet, 10 inches long — the exact width of the World Trade Center towers, the proportion of the walls a symbolic representation of the buildings as if they were lying on their sides. It is particularly special to see at sunset when the colors of the sky reflect on the walls and turn the letters of the names to a golden hue.
