Beach Fire Remembers 9-11 with Groundbreaking Ceremony

Call it Patriot Day or National Day of Service and Remembrance, but the anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on our homeland is a day that will never be forgotten. The Fort Myers Beach Fire Control District held a short groundbreaking ceremony for a monument memorial involving a World Trade Center artifact at Fire Station #33 last Wednesday. The monument is set to be ready for installation in February 2014, while a remembrance ceremony is slated at the island's south end fire station on the 13th anniversary of 9-11 next year.
