An American flag and New York City Fire Department

An American flag and New York City Fire Department flag lay at rest on a display representing units past and present to posess the flags during deployments to the Middle East since Sept. 11. The flags were flown by Army Reservist Col. Neil Skow while serving as a fireman for Ladder Company Two at Ground Zero for four months after the terrorist attacks brought both World Trade Center towers to the ground. This ceremony marks last time the flags will be transferred between New York state or New Jersey Army Reserve Units serving in the Middle East for the past seven years.
