9/11 memorial trees to symbolize strength after tragedy

NEW YORK — Three communities struck with tragedy will receive seedlings from the September 11 Memorial & Museum’s Survivor Tree Program.
The group will announce Saturday that the seedlings will be sent to Newtown, Connecticut, Joplin, Missouri, and Madrid, Spain.
9/11 Memorial President Joe Daniels says the trees convey a shared strength in the face of tragedy.
The memorial tree program was started in 2013.
