What) To the Struggle Against World Terrorism (also known as the Tear of Grief and the Tear Drop Memorial) is a 10-story-high sculpture by Zurab Tsereteli that was given to the United States as an official gift of the Russian government as a memorial to the victims of the September 11 attacks and the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. It stands on The Peninsula at Bayonne Harbor in New Jersey and was dedicated in 2006.

    The sculpture is in the form of a 100-foot (30 m) tall tower made of steel and coated in bronze, split with a jagged opening through the middle. Inside the opening hangs a large stainless-steel teardrop that is 40 feet (12 m) tall. The eleven sides of the monument's base bear granite name plates, on which are etched the names of those that died in the September 11 attacks and the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.

    Tsereteli has not disclosed the cost of the sculpture except to say that he was paying for labor and materials. A lawyer for the sculptor released the cost of the figure at about $12 million. The monument was listed as one of the The World’s Ugliest Statues by Foreign Policy magazine. It was initially given to the local government of Jersey City, but was rejected once city officials actually saw it. It was then relocated to its present placement in Bayonne. The monument has been widely criticized by locals, with one 9/11 survivor likening it to "a cross between a scar and a female sexual organ." (1)

    Where) At the end of Port Terminal Boulevard

    Why) Yes, yes, I can already hear your thoughts.  Jason, this is a multimillion dollar outdoor sculpture.  Of course you want to go and see it.  The strange thing is that initially I didn't really want to go.  You see, this one was a late addition to the Buckys list and even though we ended up at the Mercedes Benz Grave, which is only 10 miles away, I never even tried to convince Pam to go here.  Looking back now, I don't know why I did that.  I would certainly try and go there today.
