Whereas, the attacks of September 11, 2001, are inextricably and forever tied to the Franklin Square and Munson Fire Department;
Whereas, on September 11, 2001, while operating at the World Trade Center in New York City, firefighter Thomas J. Hetzel, badge #290 of Hook and Ladder Company #1, Franklin Square and Munson Fire Department of New York, was killed in performance of his duties, along with 2,976 other emergency responders and civilians;
Whereas, members of the Franklin Square and Munson Fire Department were called upon to assist in the subsequent rescue and recovery operations and cleanup of the World Trade Center site, afflicting many of them with life-threatening illnesses as a result of breathing the deadly toxins present at the site;
Whereas, the Board of Fire Commissioners of the Franklin Square and Munson Fire District recognizes the significant and compelling nature of the petition before the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York reporting un-prosecuted federal crimes at the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001, and calling upon the United States Attorney to present that petition to a Special Grand Jury pursuant to the United States Constitution and 18 U.S.C. SS 3332(A);
Whereas, the overwhelming evidence presented in said petition demonstrates beyond any doubt that pre-planted explosives and/or incendiaries — not just airplanes and the ensuing fires — caused the destruction of the three World Trade Center buildings, killing the vast majority of the victims who perished that day;
Whereas, the victims of 9/11, their families, the people of New York City, and our nation deserve that every crime related to the attacks of September 11, 2001, be investigated to the fullest and that every person who was responsible face justice;
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Board of Fire Commissioners of the Franklin Square and Munson Fire District fully supports a comprehensive federal grand jury investigation and prosecution of every crime related to the attacks of September 11, 2001, as well as any and all efforts by other government entities to investigate and uncover the full truth surrounding the events of that horrible day.

New York Area Fire Commissioners Make History, Call for New 9/11 Investigation
This tragedy still brings back painful memories for me, I was in college and lived in NJ right across the river during that time with clear view of the city and witnessed all the commotion first hand, my dad used to drive a limo and had made a pick up from the WTC just an hour before the incident and couldn’t get out of the city because they had shut down the bridges and the tunnels… I still have the t-shirt I had bought soon after I’ve 1st seen the documentary Loose Change and knew right then the official story never made sense, it’s a black shirt with words “Controlled Demolition” across the chest, the L’s being the damaged twin towers, I’ve kept it all these years and wear it on every anniversary, hoping those responsible for this horrible act will be brought to justice one day, the truth wants to be known now matter how deep they try to bury it.
Deniz: Good for you. I find these commissioners to be so inspiring. This is one of the bravest acts I have ever seen.
