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.
