3.: Union County Fire Chief's Association 9/11 Memorial This Weekend

Posted by: "Brian Mecca" Brian.Mecca@yahoo.com bd_mecca

For those of you that know me, you are aware that I have been a volunteer firefighter for over 35 years now.

This weekend, the Union County Fire Chief's Association of which I am a member and the Secretary is holding a very special 10th anniversary commemoration of 9/11 to honor and remember the 343 FDNY firefighters who answered their last call on September 11, 2011. There is a link below to picture of the flags being set up on Friday for this memorial that is described below, one 3'x5' American flag for each firefighter. This is a drive by (or stop in) memorial that will be there until Monday Morning. It is lit at night, if you are in the area of Echo Lake Park in Mountainside NJ, please drive through to see this stunning tribute. I will be there most of Sunday until about 4:00.

See photos - http://www.goleader.com/services/photos/11sep11-firefighters/

Echo Lake Park, Mountainside, New Jersey - The Union County Fire Chief's Association is hosting a memorial throughout the weekend, September 10-11, 2011 to honor the 343 New York City firefighters that made the ultimate sacrifice on September 11, 2001. The memorial displays 343 American Flags (made in America, Texas) 3'x5', one for each FDNY firefighter who perished. They are placed across the grass field in Echo Lake Park. The public is invited to drive by and to attend a special ceremony to be held at 11:30 am on September 11, 2011 at this location. Businesses and individuals from the region and as far away as Kentucky have made this possible. A sizeable donation will be made to the St. Barnabus Burn Center in Livingston, NJ.
