back to questions
2) How did you get the steel?
Two firefighters saw that requests for the steel were being solicited by the Port Authority. They worked with Chief Roy Lusk to submit a request for the steel to come to Kitsap County. After receiving that request the Port Authority had to receive approval from a Federal judge and the Families of 9/11 Commission before we were awarded the steel. back to questions
