Gwinnett Eagle Scout’s 9/11 memorial will include WTC steel

Snellville officials will dedicate a new 9/11 memorial Monday evening.

The memorial was made by Eagle Scout Keval Parag Amin using steel from the World Trade Center, one of the sites attacked on Sept. 11, 2001. Amin got the steel from the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.
