The Firemen's Monument at 100th Street and Riverside Drive

The statue on the south side is a woman reading a book to her little child, who grows up to be a fireman.

There is still a memorial service at this monument every September 11, where hundreds of firefighters show up to honor the fallen ones of 2001. All the names are read and a bell rung for each one.

Many of the attendees are young. One wonders what they have been through.
