''Postcards'' is an outdoor sculpture in the St. George neighborhood of Staten Island, New York City, United States of America. Built in 2004, it is a permanent memorial honoring the 274 Staten Island residents killed in the September 11 attacks of 2001 and in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Staten Island September 11 Memorial )〕 The dead include many who worked at the World Trade Center, police and firefighters who joined the rescue effort and were killed when the towers collapsed, and one passenger on United Airlines Flight 93, who died in the crash in Shanksville, Pennsylvania. One individual who was killed in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing is also represented. ==Design==
The memorial is called ''Postcards'' because its two white marble wing sculptures represent large postcards to loved ones; each stands 30 feet (9m) high.〔(Postcards, Staten Island's 9/11 Memorial ) Gothamist, September 11, 2008.〕 Each Staten Island victim is honored with a granite plaque bearing their name, birthdate, and place of work on September 11, 2001, as well as their profile in silhouette.
