A metal girder from the South Tower has been brought to Exmouth and set in resin and granite to form a permanent memorial in Phear Park.
The World Trade towers housed 430 companies at the time and 67 Brits lost their lives.
The annual service, now co-organised by firefighter Nathan Lapwood is said to mean a lot to Steven's family - who still attend, despite moving from the area.
Firefighters will also remember the 343 firefighters who lost their lives in the attacks.
A silence will be held at 1.43pm at the memorial to mark the first impact.
