About

The story

To the Struggle Against World Terrorism (also known as the Tear of Grief and the Tear Drop Memorial) is a 10–story sculpture by Zurab Tsereteli that was given to the United States as an official gift from the Russian government as a memorial to the victims of the September 11 attacks in 2001, and the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. It stands at the end of the former Military Ocean Terminal in Bayonne, New Jersey. Ceremonial groundbreaking occurred on September 16, 2005, in a ceremony attended by Russian president Vladimir Putin. The monument was dedicated on September 11, 2006, in a ceremony attended by former U.S. president Bill Clinton, coinciding with the 5th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.
