9/11 Historical Project to Visit Tampa

This just in:

Come join Tampa Fire Rescue in remembering our fallen heroes from Sept. 11,
while viewing history first hand.

The Project involving former FDNY Rescue 4 and Rescue 5 is an educational effort focused at society, especially youngsters who were too young to actually understand the events of September 11 and what that day means to members of the fire service and to all of us.

The Remembrance Rescue Project is a not-for-profit created by firefighters to restore and preserve Rescue 4 and Rescue 5 from 9/11 as educational tools,
historical artifacts and memorials. The Project involving former FDNY Rescue 4
and Rescue 5 is an educational effort focused at society, especially youngsters who were too young to actually understand the events of September 11 and what that day means to members of the fire service and the country as a whole.

The Project works with fire departments across the country to host the Rescues throughout the year. The Project coordinates with host fire departments to facilitate 9/11 educational programming, memorials and remembrance events.

The Project strives to keep the memories alive of those lost on September 11 and all firefighters killed in the line of duty every year. More information can be found at the website: http://www.remembrance.co/
