The Emerald Society Pipes and Drums FDNY wish to highlight and bring attention to the Remembrance Garden, highlighting its significance & its maintenance as a “living” memorial. They are traveling with both Active and Retired FDNY firefighters & their relations, some of whom responded on that dreadful day. It will be an emotional part of their trip to Ireland. Each individual tree has a name plate in honour of each of the fallen firefighters. Pic: Larry Cummins
