On
September 11, 2001, in New York City the World Trade Center (WTC)
was attacked by terrorists. Flight 11 and flight 175 were hijacked
and flown into the twin towers. At ground zero amid all of the chaos
three New York City firefighters raised the American flag as a symbol
of freedom. At that moment, Record photographer Thomas E. Franklin
captured the unforgettable image that marked
the first step for
Americans to begin to heal.
Those who perished in 9/11
will never be forgotten.
This website is dedicated to their
memory.
The Record's official Website for the
North Jersey Media Group Disaster Relief Fund
and the photo of the three firefighters raising
the American Flag.

Postal Service ends sale of 9/11 flag-raising stamp
A postage stamp emblazoned with the historic Sept. 11 photograph by The Record of three firefighters raising an American flag amid World Trade Center rubble has been withdrawn from sale by the U.S. Postal Service.
As of Sept. 30, more than 128 million "Heroes of 2001" stamps had been sold. The stamp was released in June 2002 and raised more than $10 million for first responders to the terrorist attack or their family members, said David Failor, executive director of stamp services for the Postal Service.
The stamp was a "semipostal" item that sold for 45 cents, higher than the postal service's first-class rate, which was 34 cents until June 30, 2002, and has been 37 cents since then.
