The station was renamed Oak Lawn Patriot in 2012, due to the newly constructed 9/11 memorial on the station site. The memorial features two steel columns from the demolished pre-2001 World Trade Center twin towers in New York City displayed as a memorial to the victims of the September 11 attacks. Most official websites, as well as on-train announcements refer to the station as Oak Lawn Patriot, however timetables and other sources may still refer to it as simply Oak Lawn.
