TUCSON – 9/11 is considered by many to be the ‘Kennedy Moment’ of the 21st century. Everyone who lived through that day remembers where they were and what they were doing when they learned the Twin Towers had been attacked. This is especially true for two local police officers.

“It took a little bit to register, I didn’t understand what was happening,” said Tucson police officer Charley Foley. “Then I think they said ‘terrorist attack, The country is under terrorist attack,’ I just couldn’t believe it.”

Sept. 11, 2001 was Foley’s first day on the force.

TUCSON – Later this week, Americans will remember the morning of September 11th, 2001. It’s been 14 years since the Twin Towers fell in New York City. Nearly 3,000 people were killed that day.

A Tucson police officer is on a journey east, to bring a piece of history and American symbolism back to a Brooklyn elementary school.

Growing up, the American flag had a special meaning to Tucson Police Officer Charley Foley.

Thirteen interment flags for veterans — most at one time draped over their coffins — will fly over Tucson on Saturday to honor the veterans’ service to America.

The flags were donated by relatives of the deceased to Flags for the Flagless, a nonprofit organization founded by two Tucson police officers whose mission is to raise Old Glory on barren flagpoles in the city. The organization also gives flags — with donations from businesses and individuals — to schools.

Veteran Sigmund Klaussner, who died in 2005 at 73, is one of the 13 whose flag will fly this Fourth of July.

“I want his flag to be flown because he was so proud of his service to his country,” said his sister, Edie Swankie, who donated the flag to the organization.

GERRITSEN BEACH (WABC) — A new flag is going up in a classroom at PS 22, Gerritsen Beach School – the flag is the first thing students give their attention to every morning.

“It’s a great symbol of our country,” says 2nd grader, Casey Sarubbi.

For a school that weathered the storms of Superstorm Sandy, its flags did not do as well.

“They were just worn, faded, some of them tattered – probably pretty old flags, you know!” said Charley Foley.
