The Enterprise — Marcello Iaia

An enormous flag flew from the MacBoston 18 Truck’s ladder. A plaque beside the truck listed those who died at the site of terrorists’ attacks in New York City on Sept. 11, 2001. Kevin Shephard and Gordon Davis, members of the MacBoston 18 Truck, visited the celebration; The group’s name comes from Paul MacMurray, nicknamed Mac, a fallen firefighter from Hudson Falls with the badge number 18. The first memorial truck came from the city of Boston. On its side, the names of New York State firefighters who have died in the line of duty are listed. Shephard led the afternoon with a prayer for the safety of Rensselaerville firefighters and all firefighters’ families.
