The Ross Township Fire Service prays for the innocent people who were lost in New York and Washington D.C on September 11th 2001 and the missing brave men and women of FDNY





Flag Raised at Ground Zero - Sept 11, 2001
In the chaos and rubble where the World Trade Center once stood, three firefighters,
Brooklyn-based firefighters Dan McWilliams, George Johnson (both from Ladder 157),
and Billy Eisengrein (Rescue 2) raise the American flag.

Standing defiantly against the gray and white landscape of devastation, these dust-covered
men and the vivid red, white, and blue of Old Glory instantly became a symbol of American
patriotism and also a global message that life, and America, would go on.
