On behalf of everyone at Shamokin-Coal Township Public Library, it was truly an honor for our organization to be included in yesterday evening’s 9/11 memorial service held at Shamokin City Hall.
For those that were unable to attend and hear retired FDNY firefighter Chris Edwards speak about the events of that day as he experienced them and the lasting effects such experiences continue to have on both a man and a city, everyone will have the chance to read about them in his book “Coming Through the Flames” which he signed and donated to our library.
We extend our thanks and gratitude to Mr. Edwards for his years in the fire service, just as we do to all of the dedicated and selfless crews that make up our local fire departments as well as members of law enforcement and EMS across the board. And of course, we thank Chris Edwards for his book “Coming Through the Flames” and hope that it helps to ensure the sacrifices and resilience seen on that day are never forgotten.
