The 21-foot steel beam from the South Tower of the World Trade Center has been on a tour across America since May, and it is scheduled to finish its journey in New York City just after Sept. 11.

"It brings up a lot of memories, and, honestly, reading that and talking to the firemen over there, it can give me chills. It gives me chills," Fenway vendor David Littlefield said of the display.

"It was gut-wrenching, heartbreaking," he said, adding that his wife lost a roommate in the attacks.

"It hits home. I worked for American Airlines for 30 years, and I … worked Flight 11 and Flight 77 many times," another woman at the game said.

The display is now being featured at the Massachusetts Fallen Heroes Memorial on Thursday.

The 16,900-pound beam will then head to the nation's capital, where it will be featured at a private event on Friday. It will then head to New York City for another private event in Brooklyn on Sept. 11, before a final appearance at the New York Giants vs. Dallas Cowboys game at MetLife Stadium Sept. 13.

The beam visited the U.S. Military Academy at West Point on Monday, where the superintendent, Lt. Gen. James B. Bartholomees III, said the piece of steel connects the courage shown by first responders on 9/11 with the Americans who answered the call to serve in the years that followed.

"As we approach the 25th anniversary of 9/11, this piece of steel reminds us of the courage of first responders like Stephen Siller and the countless Americans who answered the call in the years that followed, including generations of West Point graduates," Bartholomees said. "Today, young men and women continue that legacy of service, guided by duty, honor country."

The ceremony brought together cadets, faculty, staff and guests and opened with a color guard and pipe and drum procession by members of the NYPD, FDNY and Port Authority Police Department. The program also included the national anthem, an invocation and blessing of the steel and a moment of reflection accompanied by "Amazing Grace."

I am just an average American. My teen years were in the late 70s and I participated in all that that decade offered. Started working young, too young. Then I joined the Army before I graduated High School. I spent 25 years in, mostly in Infantry units. Since then I've worked in information technology positions all at small family owned companies. At this rate I'll never be a tech millionaire. When I was young I rode horses as much as I could. I do believe I should have been a cowboy. I'm getting in the saddle again by taking riding lessons and see where it goes.
