Having dinner last night with Battalion Chief Mike Brown Virginia Beach FD, VA Task Force 2 FEMA , He and one other Task force member of VA -2 spend three wks at WTC. I was looking at some photos he had and I am sure the memorial statue you are refering too was in one of his photos. Mike told me it was five times live size and was an awsome site to see in the middle of the road near the WTC site. He said it was brought in on a trailer and left there, still on the trailer. I remember it being bronze. a firefighter with air pac kneeling down. People had placed flowers all over it. Very grim site.

I believe it is still in front of the Milford Plaza hotel, on Eigth Ave. and I think, 48th or 49th street. Call the hotel and ask. I'm almost positive it is still at that location.
Thank you both. This is the one that i was looking for. I am going into the city to help support the economy. My mother was very interested in seeing this. THANKS AGAIN....
