Pictures from the funeral for Ray Downey Sr. F.D.N.Y. Chief of Rescue Ops. Killed in the Towers on 9-11-01.

Memorial Services were held in Delaware County today at the current Police & the under construction Fire & Ems Memorials in Rose Tree Park. Numerous Law Enforcement agencies, and Fire and Ems personnel from through out the County were on hand. As well as local, County and State Government officials & citizens, and family of fallen emergency responders. Wreaths were placed at both memorials for those that have given the ultimate sacrifice protecting the communities they were from. A moment of silence and prayer was held for those that have so selfishly given of themselves and for all those who lost their lives so tragically in New York, Western Pennsylvania and Washington, 7 yrs ago.

The pictures in this album are all taken at Ground Zero. They start on 9-13-01 and progress until the rubble has been removed down into the basin. I made several trips to get these pictures and watch the progress being made. These pictures don't even scratch the surface at showing the total destruction and devastation, or the scope of the tragedy.
