The Associated Press reports via the Washington Times:
A bronze-and-steel sculpture of three New York City firefighters raising the U.S. flag in the ruins of the World Trade Center stands as a towering reminder to “never give up,” Federal Emergency Management Agency Administrator R. David Paulison said yesterday at a dedication ceremony for the September 11 memorial.
The 40-foot work, based on a newspaper photograph from September 11, 2001, was installed on the grounds of the National Emergency Training Center.
Dedicated to the nation’s fallen firefighters, including 343 Fire Department New York workers who died trying to rescue victims of the terrorist attack, the sculpture by Utah-based Stanley Watts is called, “To Lift a Nation.” It stands near the National Fallen Firefighters Memorial on a picturesque campus visited annually by 17,000 emergency response workers and administrators from around the world.
