I am sure you all know that the 5th anniversary of the September 11 attacks at the World trade Center, The Pentagon, and the Flight, which crashed in Pennsylvania, will be held on Monday. I wanted to let you all know that the New York City Fire Department will be displaying The Ridgewood Fourth of July Committees 30 X 50 American Flag at Ground Zero.

A little explanation: The New York Fire Department held funeral services on September 1, 2006, in Ramsey N.J. for a 25 Year old member of their department, Michael C. Reilly, who was killed in the line of duty.

At the funeral services Volunteer Fire Captain Richard Scalione arranged to display the Ridgewood Fourth of July Committees 30X 50 American Flag. See attached Photos. The members of the New York City Fire Department Administration were so impressed with the Flag they requested, on Friday, if they could borrow the Flag for their ceremony at Ground Zero. I approved their request. The New York City Fire Department sent two Firefighters to pick up the flag and the rigging for the flag last night.

I thought you all would want to know about this..
