Tribute To 911
On September 11 2001 at 8:45 a large commercial airliner hit Tower One at The World Trade Center. AT 9:03 a second aircraft hit Tower Two. At 10:05 and 10:30 both towers had collapsed. Our country will never be the same.
The axe that I have painted is a tribute to the 343 fire and rescue personnel the perished that day.
The numbers that are painted on the handle are for each Engine Company ,Ladder Co. ,Battalion ,Division , Squad and Rescue team that lost personnel that day.
Station 343
Located at 140 E. Main St in Dwight , Il 60420
Pete and Joy Meister of Dwight Il wanted to give something back to the community they love so much as well as create a destination where people can gather and socialize. Pete, a firefighter in Cullom Il , wanted to honor the 343 brave New York City firefighters who lost their lives on September 11, 2001.
Complete with a vintage 1917 Seagrave fire truck Station 343 establishes an atmosphere of a fire station with brick walls, wood floors and rafters. Pete has also collected many fire related artifacts that you will find interesting.
If you are looking for good food, a great atmosphere with friendly people plan a visit....you won't be disappointed.
A special fire axe was created and will soon be displayed at Station 343. It is pictured in the group photo below.
