Veterans Legacy Fund finalizes contract to bring mobile 9/11 exhibit to Emporia next September
Last month, it was announced that a contract was in hand and ready to be finalized to bring a major memorial to Emporia next year. That announcement was made by the Emporia Veterans Legacy Fund and the memorial was the Tunnel to Towers 9/11 Never Forget mobile exhibit, an 83-foot-high tractor-trailer that transforms into a 1,100-square-foot traveling museum that honors the victims of September 11 and the brave men and women who gave their lives both during and after the events of 9/11.
