They will learn about the lives of the 343 New York City firefighters, and 72 Port Authority police officers of New York and New Jersey, who died that day. Each flag has a name attached and many of the flags also include how these lives are remembered by others.

The display is open now thru September 13th.

Con Fire invites community members looking for way to remember the events of that day and honor its victims to walk among the flags, see the names and learn about these heroes. The display is illuminated at night for anyone who plans to visit after dark.
