Karen Mignano, background, is overcome with emotion upon seeing a steel beam from the World Trade Center in Freeport on Saturday. Mignano, who lives in South Portland, was living in New York when the towers fell. “With bin Laden being killed and now this, I may finally have my closure,” she said. In the foreground is Sue Millman of Portland, Ore., who is retired from the U.S. Army. She noticed Mignano looking at the beam from the ground and said to her, “Come on up; we’re all Americans.” A ceremony was held outside the Freeport Public Safety Building when the 23- by 3-foot beam arrived. After the ceremony, it was taken away to be made into a monument that will be dedicated during the town’s commemoration of the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.
