​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​The Broward County Aviation Department (BCAD) dedicated and unveiled a permanent 9/11 Memorial at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL) on September 11, 2016. Since then, BCAD has annually hosted a public ceremony in remembrance of the thousands of lives lost in the series of coordinated terrorist attacks on America on September 11, 2001. 

The airport's permanent 9/11 Memorial is located inside Terminal 1, Lower Level (Baggage Claim) and includes these artifacts:

• A fragment of the World Trade Center's South Tower
• A helmet of a New York Fire Department firefighter who took part in the World Trade Center recovery effort
• An American flag donated by Retired Lieutenant Colonel Michael F. Janzen, USAF. Following the attacks, he tucked the flag inside the cockpit of his F-15C before each mission to remind himself of his sacred duty to protect the borders of the U.S.
