POMEROY — A 9/11 Memorial March in remembrance of the 343 New York firefighters who lost their lives in rescue efforts following the enemy attack on the World Trade Center, was held Sunday by the New Haven Volunteer Fire Department.
Area firefighters joined the march which began at New Haven, moved down the river, across the bridge, and into Pomeroy where they marched down Main Street led by the honor guard of Drew Webster Post 39, American Legion. As the firemen walked toward the riverside amphitheater they passed beneath a large American flag extended high in the air from the ladders of the Pomeroy and Middleport fire trucks.
Once in the amphitheater a short ceremony was held with patriotic music and readings in tribute to the lost firefighters after which a memorial wreath was placed in the Ohio River.
