We left Omaha about 5am to make it here for a 9am meeting at City Hall. Arrangements were made with the FD to meet the Mayor here, and to display the banner project. From here we brought the banner over to the FD. This gave us the opportunity to meet with more firefighters, and to speak with them about their reactions to 9/11. One of the news channels also met us here to do a feature interview with us about the banner.
Chief Bailey also introduced us to the Rebecca at the Kansas Museum of History. We donated one of the posters to the permanent collection of September 11th items. The FD had also arranged for us to have a complimentary room at a hotel while we were here for the night.
