JOPLIN, Mo. (AP) – New York City firefighters and ground zero

construction workers are joining Missouri tornado survivors in a

tribute to the victims of the September 11th terrorist attacks and

the recent Joplin tornado.

The New York contingent brought a large American flag recovered

a decade ago from a building near the World Trade Center to Joplin.

Survivors of a Greensburg, Kansas tornado began repairing the

flag in 2008, using remnants of flags from their community. Other

disaster survivors have continued the work.

The final stitches are being placed in Joplin and then the flag

will go to the National 9/11 Memorial Museum.

The Sunday ceremony in a park near a hospital destroyed by the

Joplin tornado began with a 30-minute silence coinciding with the

time between when the Twin Towers were hit by hijacked airliners.
