Row after row of hand-made crosses and American flags.
They line the front law of a California firefighter, who spent over 1,000 hours making this memorial to the victims of the September 11 terror attacks.
On the eve of the 10th anniversary of the tragedy, Scott Townley says it's important for people not to forget what happened.

"It's so far away from us here on the West coast, it's 3000 miles away, that I needed to bring it home, I needed to bring it to the West Coast where people could remember it, see it, learn from it."
Townely painstaking crafted 417 wooden crosses - one for each of the firefighters and police officers who died in the atacks.
He also carved a large cross dedicated to the civilians who perished.
One man, who lost a friend in the attack, visited the memorial.

"Well, I just don't want people to forget, people forget too easily. I just want everybody to remember. They're real people with real families, and they gave up a lot, so people need to remember."
Meanwhile, British Prime Minister David Cameron says terrori attacks remain a "poisonous cancer."

"We've done a huge amount to degrade and knock-back al Qaeda, including getting rid of Osama bin Laden, and we no longer have a terrorist-supporting regime in Afghanistan. But it's more dangerous in regard to the fact that there are still countries like Yemen and Somalia where there are real problems of terrorism and a huge still problem of Islamic extremism."
A series of memorials, including one in New York, are expected across the United States on Sunday.
