Efforts are underway to build a 9/11 Memorial statue in the Veterans Plaza 2000 across from the Baxter County Courthouse. On a recent episode of Talk of the Town on KTLO-FM 97.9, Tommy Felicia with the Mountain Home Fire Department and Sheri Smith with the Henderson Fire Department spoke about the process.

Felicia says a piece of a beam from the Twin Towers at New York’s World Trade Center will be part of the local memorial.
