On President's Day we went on a day trip to PA. Our last stop was to find these statues that my grandpa did the engineering for. They are in Emmitsburg MD and I thought that because it was a small town we would be able to find them easily. Well, it wasn't as easy as I thought and so after we drove through the whole town we drove by a gated compound that said FEMA. Then on a tiny plaque it said something about a firefighters memorial. We went through the gate to the security guard and asked him if he knew where three giant firemen were. So, we found it and they only had to take our IDs, frisk us and sniff the car with their dogs. Just kidding, they only took our licenses. Once we got to the memorial it was neat. It is to recognize the firefighters who died in the 9/11 attacks, and they really are huge. So, good job grandpa, they are still standing tall.
